Advancing the standard of care in general surgery

Your practice in general surgery involves a diverse array of procedures, each demanding precise postoperative management. The completion of a successful surgery marks only the initial step in your patient's journey to recovery. Post-surgical challenges, such as infection, hematoma formation and incision integrity are critical factors that influence the recovery trajectory. 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy provides you with a proactive strategy for incision care, elevating the standard of postoperative treatment and optimising the healing environment to enhance your patients' recovery experience.
