Ioban™ 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drapes immobilize bacteria to help prevent bacterial migration into the wound during surgical procedures and have been shown to help reduce the risk of SSIs when compared to a non-antimicrobial drape in cardiac surgery.
Micro organisms from the patient's skin are the most common cause of surgical site infection (SSI). Ioban 2 antimicrobial incise drapes help to reduce the risk of SSI by immobilising micro organisms and delivering antimicrobial activity at the skin surface and deeper layers.
