Enhance surgical outcomes with evidence-based solutions 

When it comes to protecting patients, we’re on the same team. You’re at the forefront of care, and we’re here to help you reduce the risk of preventable complications like surgical site infections (SSIs). Why? Because SSIs take a tremendous toll on patients, healthcare professionals and facilities. Therefore, it’s important to take steps to help reduce your patient’s infection risk factors.



Choose from a variety of evidence-based surgical solutions to help you mitigate the risk of SSIs, protect patients and staff and improve outcomes — for every patient, every time.

Maintain normothermia with our forced-air warming solutions

400M+ patients warmed globally with 3M™ Bair Hugger™ Warming System

Monitoring and maintaining your patients’ temperature during surgery can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’ve developed a comprehensive range of 3M™ Bair Hugger™ Temperature Management Solutions to help you measure, monitor and maintain your patients’ core body temperature before, during and after surgery.



With our warming system and temperature monitoring system behind you, you can aid in maintaining normothermia, and help prevent your patients’ core body temperature from falling below the normal range, which can reduce the risk of surgical complications.
