The pioneer of surgical clippersSurgical clipper technology, pioneered by 3M, can significantly reduce the risk of infection. It has helped cut the cost to hospitals of prolonged patient stay, and increased the quality of care.
Safer for your patientsA higher quality of careThe performance of the 3MTM Surgical Clippers makes hair removal quicker than using razor and is more comfortable for your patients. When used as directed, 3M surgical clippers cut just above skin, avoiding scratching, nicking, and rashes. Therefore skin trauma and resulting infection is dramatically reduced.
Lower infection ratesResearch clearly shows that shaving produces nicks, cuts and microscopic epidermal injuries that can cause bacterial contamination at the operative site. Preoperative hair removal using a clipper can decrease the risk of deep wound infection compared with razor preparation. Using an electrical clipping system is clearly recommended by the Centre of Disease Control (CDC).
