3M™ Ioban™ 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape, 6600 Series

Continuous antimicrobial activity

Provides continuous broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity to help reduce the risk of surgical site contamination that may be associated with surgical site infection.

Immobilizes bacteria

Immobilizes and isolates residual bacteria on the skin, helping to prevent migration into the surgical incision area.

Conformable adhesion

Adheres and conforms to the operative site, allowing for limb manipulation during surgery.

Skin preps alone are not enough

While skin prep antiseptics help reduce microbes on the skin, they can be inadvertently removed during surgery by saline irrigations, dabbing with sponges or gauze or contact with bodily fluids — diminishing patient protection.

Use Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape

Creating a physical barrier, Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape prevents objects like instruments, gloves and sponges from coming into contact with the patient's skin, reducing the risk of contamination that could cause an SSI.¹

40+ supporting pieces of published evidence (as of February 2023)

Evidence associated with aiding in risk reduction of surgical site contamination when used as part of a comprehensive preoperative solution.

A retrospective study of cardiac surgery patients showed a 71% SSI rate reduction

1.9% SSI rate (15/808) for patients receiving 3M™ Ioban™ 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape vs. 6.5% (53/808) for the non-iodine-impregnated incise drape (p=0.001).†² †Percentage calculation(s) is/are derived based on relative patient group incident rate reported in this study.

A prospective RCT involving hip surgery patients showed a 55% bacterial contamination risk reduction

12% of incisions with iodophor-impregnated adhesive drape and 27% without adhesive drapes were positive for bacterial colonization at closure of surgery (OR=2.38; 95% CI, 1.05–5.26; p=0.031)†³ †Percentage calculation(s) is/are derived based on relative patient group incident rate reported in this study.

A retrospective study of liver surgery patient data showed a 74% wound infection rate reduction

Wound infections developed in 21 of 174 patients (12.1%) without the drapes and in four of 122 patients with the drapes (3.1%) (p=0.0096).⁴
