Additionally, the drape is made with a superior-quality adhesive that provides consistently reliable adhesion to the skin and wound edge. "We are excited to celebrate over 25 years of antimicrobial incise drape expertise by introducing the new 6661EZ Ioban 2 drape," said Carol Watson, marketing manager, 3M Health Care.

In addition, surgical site infections contribute to or directly cause more than 10,000 deaths each year in the United States(iii). The 6661EZ Ioban 2 drape provides documented continuous antimicrobial activity and is clinically proven to reduce the risks of wound contamination and bacterial migration. The broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity lasts for hours under the drape where it can't be washed away.
