London, Ontario... Health care
professionals have a new source for infection prevention information
at the new 3M Infection Prevention Website. Found at www.3M.com/InfectionPrevention,
the site offers information on techniques and strategies to
help prevent infection. It also describes 3M products that
help ensure proper sterilization, skin preparation, sterile
environments, wound management and more.
Featuring an easy-to-navigate format, the 3M Infection Prevention
Web site also includes 3M news. It allows you to electronically
access current and archived issues of the Infection Control
Rounds newsletter which 3M has published for clinicians since
1977. Up-to-date industry news is accessible through a 3M
Health Care sponsored link to www.icanPREVENT.net,
the only Web site that focuses on infectious diseases.
3M also added a password protected extranet for healthcare
professionals to access select educational materials. Contact
your local 3M Health Care sales representative for the password
or contact the 3M Health Care Customer Helpline at 1-888-364-3577.

DuraPrep™ Surgical Solution. The same password can be
used to access other 3M Health Care electronic educational
programs in the future.
