    Objective: Systematize the evidence from the studies carried out on the effectiveness of non-sterile water vs. sterile water in cleaning wounds and reducing infections. Materials and Methods: The population was made up of 16 articles and the sample was 10 scientific articles on the effectiveness of non-sterile water vs. sterile water in cleaning wounds and reducing infections, published in the Lilacs databases. , Scielo, Medline, Pubmet, Dialnet and Epistemonikos, in Spanish, English and Portuguese. All of them analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. Results: Of the 10 pieces of evidence, according to the type of research, the following belong: United States 20%, Brazil 20%, Australia 10%, Japan 10%, Spain 10%, Taiwan 10%, England 10% and Iran 10% respectively. The largest proportion of the studies correspond to Randomized Clinical Trials with 60% (6/10), Systematic Review with 30% (3/10) and Meta-analysis with 10% (1/10). Conclusions: Of the total of 10 articles reviewed, 100% (n=10/10) show that non-sterile water in cleaning wounds is equally effective as using sterile water and does not increase the infection rate, therefore , in the absence of sterile water, non-sterile water, warm boiled water can be used for wound cleaning.
