68 Executive Briefing At 3M, we believe that solving complex problems starts with thinking big. Our teams draw on science applied across multiple industries to help you accelerate your fight against one of healthcare's most complex chal- lenges—SSIs. Together with dedicated healthcare professionals all over the world, we work to create positive change and help improve surgical care for every patient. Learn more at go.3M.com/FightSSIs. Conclusion Preventing SSIs requires the implementation of clinically effec- tive interventions to counteract or offset the variables known to cause infection. The goal is to prevent bacterial contamination of the surgical site and neutralize bacteria that could otherwise infect the wound. Using guidelines and evidence-based best practices — like those above — can have a positive effect on reducing the risk of SSIs. n References: 1 Institute of Medicine. 2000.
