Preventing surgical site infections

hidden1hidden2

Surgical care does not end when the surgery ends. Successful outcomes also depend on post-surgical incision care. Wound care dressings and treament choices are a vital part of the healing equation because post-operative wounds are susceptible to infection and associated complications. 

Every patient deserves the best possible start after surgery. ​Mölnlycke Incision Care Solutions help you deliver ​high-quality outcomes that bring patients home and back to health. How can you help preventing surgical site infection by dressing and treatment choice?
