3M Ioban 2 Antimicrobial Incise Drapes

3M Ioban 2 antimicrobial incise drapes are transparent, iodophor-impregnated surgical films applied directly to prepped skin at the incision site. The adhesive film delivers continuous antimicrobial activity throughout the procedure, releasing iodine to help suppress skin flora that can migrate into the wound — a proven contributor to lowering surgical site contamination.

Surgical teams reach for Ioban 2 because it does two jobs at once: it seals the surgical field and keeps working against bacteria for the duration of the operation. The distinctive yellow-tinted film cuts through the skin surface cleanly for the incision while its perimeter adhesive keeps drapes and towels anchored, preventing the shifting and pooling that compromise a sterile boundary.

This collection carries two of the most-used sizes, both sterile and non-fenestrated:

• 3M Ioban 2 6648EZ (23 x 23 inch) — a large 23 x 23 inch incise area suited to abdominal, orthopedic, and other broad-field procedures where extensive coverage matters.
• 3M Ioban 2 6650EZ (17 x 23 inch) — a versatile mid-size film for smaller or more localized surgical sites.

A common question from OR buyers: does the iodophor interfere with skin prep? Ioban 2 is designed to be applied over a dry surgical prep, and the film's antimicrobial action complements — rather than replaces — proper skin antisepsis. Because the drapes are supplied sterile and individually, they integrate directly into standard aseptic technique.
