3M™ Ioban™ 2 Antimicrobial incise drapes effectively help prevent wound contamination. Evidence shows that applying an antimicrobial incise drape is a critical step in reducing the risk of wound contamination that may be associated with Surgical Site Infection (SSI).3, 4.3M™ Ioban™ 2 antimicrobial incise drapes adhere securely to the skin, reducing the risk of drape lift which can lead to an increase in wound contamination. The iodine impregnated adhesive on the drape provides continuous broad spectrum antimicrobial activity all the way to the incision edge and helps reduce the risk of wound contamination. 1.
