Immobilizing Skin Flora at the Surgical Margins
Despite thorough preoperative skin prep, residual bacteria located in deep hair follicles and sebaceous glands can migrate across skin margins into the surgical incision during prolonged multi-hour procedures.
Continuous Antimicrobial Iodine Release
SterileValley antimicrobial incise drapes incorporate an active iodophor complex dispersed directly within the pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive layer. As body warmth activates the drape, it provides continuous broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens right up to the incision edge.
Conformable, Breathable Polyurethane Membrane
The elastic polyurethane film stretches smoothly across complex anatomical contours (hips, knees, shoulders) without lifting or pooling fluid, ensuring an impervious barrier that prevents surgical wound contamination from skin flora.
