Preventing complications and restoring lives
Return your patients to their lives after surgery by optimizing post-operative healing. 3M innovations can help in improving healing times and lowering the risk of complications including surgical site infections (SSI), dehiscence, hematoma and seromas. Improved healing outcomes can reduce the total cost of care by reducing the length of hospital stay.
3M provides advanced negative pressure therapies and post-operative dressings designed to help manage and protect surgical incisions and wounds. 3M innovations solve healing challenges like no other and meet the needs of a variety of patient populations.
