[Magdalen] Saline.

[Charles Wohlers]

And, very importantly, (most) bacteria can't live in a high salt 
environment - the salt solution draws all the water right out of them. This 
is called osmosis, and is why we have high salt foods like ham, bacon, etc.

Maybe it's just to make sure one layer adheres to the other. Saline is 
cleaner than my tap water. Surface tension is a better adhesive in small 
areas than some adhesive tapes. (I'm a big fan of flushing new wounds with 
saline, too.)
