- Designed with continuous broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in the drape adhesive where it cannot be washed away
- Clinically demonstrated to help reduce the risk of wound contamination and immobilise bacteria on the skin
- 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes effectively aid in wound contamination prevention. Evidence suggests that using an antimicrobial incise drape is an important step in reducing the risk of wound contamination, which may lead to Surgical Site Infection (SSI).
- 3M Ioban Antimicrobial incise drapes adhere securely to the skin, lowering the risk of drape lift, which can increase wound contamination. The drape's iodine-impregnated adhesive provides continuous broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity all the way to the incision edge, reducing the risk of wound contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes?
A: 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes are sterile adhesive surgical drapes designed to reduce the risk of surgical site infections. They are made with an antimicrobial iodophor impregnated adhesive that helps to reduce bacterial colonization of the skin around the surgical site.
Q: How do I use 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes?
A: The drapes should be applied to the skin around the surgical site after the area has been prepped and draped. The adhesive will stick to the skin and create a barrier against bacteria. The drape can be trimmed to fit the desired size and shape.
Q: What are the benefits of using 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes?
A: The antimicrobial properties of the iodophor in the adhesive can help to reduce the risk of surgical site infections. The drapes also provide a barrier against fluids, helping to keep the surgical site dry during the procedure. Additionally, they are transparent, allowing the surgeon to easily see the incision site.
Q: Are 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes safe to use?
A: Yes, the drapes are safe to use. The iodophor in the adhesive is safe for use on the skin and has been shown to be effective at reducing bacterial colonization of the skin. However, it is important to follow the instructions for use and to monitor the patient for any adverse reactions.
Q: How long can 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes be left in place?
A: The drapes can be left in place for up to 7 days. However, the length of time they are left in place will depend on the individual patient and the type of procedure being performed. It is important to follow the instructions for use and to monitor the patient for any signs of infection or adverse reactions.
Q: Are 3M Ioban Antimicrobial Incise Drapes environmentally friendly?
A: The drapes are not considered environmentally friendly as they are made with a non-biodegradable adhesive. However, they are single-use and can help to reduce the risk of surgical site infections, which can have a positive impact on patient outcomes and healthcare costs.
