3M™ Surgical Drapes A powerful barrier
3M Surgical Drapes

Surgeons all over the world rely on 3M™ Surgical Drapes to help support infection prevention in their operating rooms. Created using innovative technologies and advanced materials, 3M's single-use surgical drapes work at the highest level of performance and reliability.
A surgical prep does not sterilize the skin, it only disinfects it. Bacteria on the skin can survive and be carried into the wound during the surgical procedure. 3M™ Ioban 2™ Antimicrobial Incise Drapes can help reduce the risk of surgical site infections by immobilizing bacteria and providing continuous antimicrobial activity.
