A powerful barrier

Surgeons all over the world rely on 3M surgical drapes to help support infection prevention in their theatres. 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 sterilise 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 immobilising bacteria and providing continuous antimicrobial activity.

Thanks to a layer of advanced material, many 3M surgical drapes provide a fluid-resistant barrier. Many 3M drapes feature an absorbent, protective barrier of material throughout the drape that inhibits strikethrough and provides resistance to microbial penetration.
