Surgery and Incision Management
Bringing your best. Every patient. Every time.
From prep to recovery.

You’re here for your patients. We’re here for you.
As surgeries resume, we understand you’re balancing priorities.
From patient and staff respiratory protection, inventory and staffing challenges, patient flow, and new restrictions, managing your time is essential, now more than ever. We know that treating every patient with the highest level of care is always a top priority. That is why 3M is here to help you address risks, standardize practices, and help reduce the risk of complications with science-centred solutions.
-
Skin Preparation
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major burden on healthcare systems, providers and patients.1 3M™ Soluprep™ Skin Preparation Solutions help increase patient safety and help reduce the risk of infections.
-
Patient Warming
The difference between a positive patient outcome and a complicated recovery can be a matter of degrees. Unintended perioperative hypothermia is a frequent, yet preventable, complication of surgery. However, the 3M™ Bair Hugger™ Normothermia System can help prevent hypothermia and transform patient outcomes.
-
Closed Surgical Incision Management
Timely incision management can help reduce the human and economic costs of SSIs. 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy significantly reduces the risk of 90-day surgical site complications and readmissions, when compared with the current standard of care.1
Treating every patient with evidence-based solutions can help:
- Reduce complications
- Optimize patient flow
- Reduce costs due to additional treatment
- Decrease readmissions
