Ready to join us in the fight against SSIs? Let’s knock this complication out!

3M is on a mission to tackle preventable Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). While progress has been made to reduce SSIs, this is one complication that still occurs too frequently, bringing unnecessary suffering and imposing a heavy financial burden on the healthcare system. We know even one infection is one too many, and we’re ready to arm you for battle!

By the Numbers

Up to 60% of SSIs are preventable.¹
SSIs increase length of stay by 7–11 days.¹
50% of clinicians surveyed believe there is poor compliance with infection prevention protocols.²

Our core competency is problem solving
