3M™ Ioban™ 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drapes can help reduce the risk of surgical site infections by immobilising bacteria and providing continuous antimicrobial activity.
Clinicians take great care to create a sterile feld in order to prevent intraoperative contamination from skin bacteria. However, the surgical site is commonly left exposed. Even with optimal skin preparation, total sterilisation of the skin is impossible. You need more than a surgical prep to help prevent microbial regrowth or residual microbes from migrating into the wound or incision site.
Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape has been extensively researched and has more published peer-reviewed studies than any other antimicrobial incise drape competitor.*
Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape study publications have shown both clinical and economic results across a broad range of evidence ranging from poster presentations to randomised controlled clinical trials and global meta-analysis.
Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape is supported by evidence that met or exceeded the hypotheses across multiple endpoints including microbiological impacts that were associated with infection risk reduction outcomes as well as economic success when used as part of a comprehensive perioperative solution.¹ ² ³ ⁴
3M ofers a broad range of Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drapes in a variety of dimensions to fit your surgical protocol, including general and specialty drapes.
