Prepping Solutions

Patient Prepping
Since many of the microorganisms responsible for SSI reside on the patient's own skin, preoperative skin preparation serves as a front-line defense against surgical site infection. One goal of SSI risk reduction is to decrease the bacteria count on the skin prior to any procedure while minimizing the potential for skin damage.

Body hair removal and antimicrobial skin prepping are two elements of the preoperative skin preparation process.The 3M Infection Prevention System includes products ideally suited to meet this goal.
