| Skin Prep |
| |
 |
|
|
The micro-organisms responsible for Surgical Site Infection (SSI) reside on the patient’s skin. The preoperative skin preparation measures ensures a defense system against SSI. One of the goals of SSI risk reduction is to decrease the bacteria count on the skin prior to any procedure while ensuring minimal skin damage.

|
|
Rigorous adherence to the principles of asepsis constitutes the basis for surgical site infection prevention. Gloves, gowns, masks and drapes minimize bacterial infection from the surgical team and non-sterile equipment, ensuring minimal microbial transmission to the surgical wound. These measures in turn protect health care professionals from pathogens found in the patient's blood or body fluids. |

| Wound Management |
| |
 |
|
|
Skin surgery increases the probability of infection. With the use of 3M high quality and innovative equipments, the surgical incision is treated with special care, retaining the skin's immunity. In addition, I.V. site care prevents device-related infection. The risk of infection can be minimized by using products that allow site visualization, reduced dressing changes and prevent contamination. |
