3M, with newly acquired KCI, focuses on providing better care through patient-centered science. From solutions designed to protect the skin to a full portfolio of advanced and surgical wound care, we partner with clinicians to help transform patient outcomes.
When it comes to the healing process one size does not fit all. Because everyone’s skin is different and there is more than one type of wound, 3M offers more than one type of solution. Patients are dealing with unique challenges and 3M offers high quality products along with extensive world class education and training so clinicians can feel more confident in the latest products and techniques. 3M is passionate about transforming healing and protecting skin and we’re doing it with science.
Partnering with ASBD allows clinicians in all areas of Breast care to receive up to date research, training information, and resources, to ensure they continue to practice evidence-based care.
