3M ™ Ioban ™ Incision Drapes

A sterile operating field during surgery – less wound infection post-operatively

Ioban ™ incision drapes

The Ioban ™ antimicrobial incision drapes are designed to reduce the risk of post-operative wound infections. They are applied to the patient’s skin at the incision site in order to create a sterile operating field and to develop an antimicrobial effect during the surgical procedure. Ioban ™ is an iodophor-impregnated, adhesive incision film that forms a barrier and has an antimicrobial spectrum of activity on the patient’s skin flora.

Strong adhesion and antimicrobial effect

3M ™ Ioban ™ 2 Antimicrobial Incision Sheets adhere reliably to the skin, reducing the risk of the sheet peeling off. Lifting the foil off could lead to a six-fold increase in postoperative wound infections. The adhesive impregnated with iodophor in an Ioban ™ incision film offers a broad, continuously effective spectrum of antimicrobial effects right up to the edges of the film and reduces the risk of wound contamination.
