Plastic surgery patient care extends beyond the operating room. While confidence in the OR is essential, postoperative concerns like infections, swelling and tissue integration can impact recovery. 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.
