Dispensing of topical tranexamic acid

Hi Everyone,

Our IV specialist and I are currently working on finding a way to dispense topical traneaxamic acid (which we use for hip and knee replacements) in a way to avoid wrong-route errors. We were thinking about irrigation bottles, but there are concerns regarding the sterility of the product since we would have to open the bottle to remove some of the NS and add the TXA.
How does your institution dispense topical TXA? Any suggestion on how we can dispense this medication more intuitively as to route?

Thank you! Alex
