Normal saline is 0.9% NaCl (sodium chloride or salt). This means that for every 100 mL of water there is 0.9 grams of NaCl. This is equivalent to 9.0 grams per litre or 0.009 grams per millilitre.

Normal saline is a solution of 9 grams of sodium chloride ( salt) in solution. The solute is one liter of water. Normal refers to the concentration of salt to water. Other concentrations include half normal or quarter normal saline. In medical uses this solution is used in a sterile formulation for Intravenous infusions, medicated dressings, eye and bladder irrigation and wound lavage and skin cleansing.
