Since many of the microorganisms responsible for surgical site infections reside on the patient's own skin, pre-operative skin preparation helps reduce risk of surgical site infections. 3M provides solutions for pre-operative hair removal, patient skin prepping and OR draping.
Surgial Draping
3M surgical drapes are impervious to liquid strikethrough which can help to reduce bacterial transfer and subsequent contamination of the surgical site.
3M™ DuraPrep™ Surgical Solution (Iodine Povacrylex [0.7% available Iodine] and Isopropyl Alcohol, 74% w/w) Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation
A cost effective patient skin prepping solution that meets AORN and CDC guidelines for the reduction of surgical site infections.
3M™ Remover Lotion
Because 3M™ DuraPrep™ Surgical Solution (Iodine Povacrylex [0.7% available iodine] and Isopropyl Alcohol, 74% w/w) Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation dries to a water insoluble film, it is not easily removed by fluids. Formulated with moisturizers for the skin, this lotion removes DuraPrep solution.
Surgical Clippers
3M™ Surgical Clippers can significantly reduce the risk of infections and help to cut the cost of prolonged patient stays in hospitals.
