Skin Care Solutions
Care providers don’t want to cause their patients any pain. In fact, they want to mitigate preventable events in any way possible.
Your skin is your largest organ. Protecting it is vital. At 3M, we know patient comfort and satisfaction are paramount. That is why we have developed our smart skin care solutions.
These solutions help to prevent conditions like Incontinence—Associated Dermatitis (IAD) and Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injuries (MARSI), to Periwound and Peristomal Moisture—Associated Skin Damage. From medical tapes and adhesive skin closures to barrier creams and dressings, protecting and maintaining your patient’s skin is top priority for 3M.

Wound Care Solutions
No two patients are the same and neither are their wounds. That’s why wound care requires specialized training and expertise, as well as instinct and intuition.
As a clinician, you face many challenges as you provide wound management for your patients. This includes treating wounds while also working to help maintain patient skin health and protect them from infection.
3M understands the challenges you face and brings different technologies together—such as a knowledge of adhesives and dressing materials and how those interact with skin and fluids, as well as an understanding of compression materials—to provide a portfolio of solutions that meets your needs and the needs of your patient.

Venous Leg Ulcers
Compression therapy is considered the standard of care for treating lower extremity edema and venous leg ulceration. Reducing the pain and discomfort of venous leg ulcers—and managing the chronic edema that can lead to their development—doesn’t have to be complicated for you or your patients.
3M advanced the science of compression therapy by creating materials engineered to deliver Intelligent Compression Dynamics to provide comfortable, therapeutic compression for the management of venous leg ulcers.

MARSI
Medical Adhesive—Related Skin Injury (MARSI) refers to the red irritated skin that often occurs when medical adhesives are removed. It occurs across all care settings and age groups, often due to improper selection, application or removal of medical adhesives. This causes unnecessary pain and compromises skin integrity.
With an impressive history in developing adhesive solutions, we at 3M have a unique understanding of how adhesives interact with skin. We use that knowledge to develop products to address patient needs in today’s care setting—and reduce the risk of MARSI.

Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis
Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) is a painful, problematic skin injury that results from exposure to urine or feces. This is a miserable patient experience that also increases the risk of complications.
A global panel of experts concluded that a structured skin care regimen is key to maintaining the skin integrity of patients at risk for IAD.
3M™ Cavilon™ Skin Care Solutions—including our new, innovative 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant—are key to a skin care regimen that protects patients, even in cases of moderate to severe IAD.
