1. A physiologically compatible aqueous wound cleanser composition which passes both Draize eye irritation test and primary dermal irritation test, said composition comprising, on a weight percent basis:
- from about 0.01 to about 50 percent of a surfactant to give said composition a surface tension of below about 30 dynes/cm;
from about 0.05 to about 10 percent of an osmotic adjuster to give said composition an osmolality of from about 200 to about 320 mOs/liter;
from about 0.05 percent to about 3 percent of a buffering agent to maintain a pH in a range of from about 6 to about 7.7 in said composition; and
a sufficient amount of water necessary to establish the foregoing properties.

33. A physiologically compatible aqueous wound cleanser composition which passes both Draize eye irritation test and primary dermal irritation test, said composition comprising, on a weight percent basis:
-
from about 0.25 to about 0.75 percent of a sucrose laurate; from about 0.05 to about 0.15 percent of methylparaben; from about 0.05 to about 0.15 percent of disodium EDTA; from about 0.05 to about 0.15 percent of glyceryl monolaurate; from about 2 to about 5 percent of mannitol; from about 0.02 to about 0.08 percent of cocoamphodiacetate; from about 0.1 to about 0.3 percent of disodium phosphate; and a sufficient amount of water, such that said aqueous wound cleanser composition is characterized as having a surface tension of below about 30 dynes/cm, an osmolality of from about 280 jto about 296 mOs/liter, and a pH in the range of from about 7.35 to about 7.45.

34. A concentrated dry mixture suitable for reconstituting with water to form a final aqueous wound cleanser that is physiologically compatible and which passes both Draize eye irritation test and primary dermal irritation test, said essentially dry mixture comprising:
-
a surfactant; an osmotic adjuster; and a buffering agent, such that when said concentrated mixture is reconstituted with said water to give said final aqueous wound cleanser, said final aqueous wound cleanser has, on a weight percent basis, from about 0.01 to about 50 percent of said surfactant, from about 0.05 to about 10 percent of said osmotic adjuster and from about 0.05 to about 3 percent of said buffering agent, and said final aqueous wound cleanser is further characterized as having a surface tension of below about 30dynes/cm, an osmolality of from about 200 to about 320 mOs/liter, and a pH in the range of from about 6 to about 7.7. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
