Founded in 1902 as the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, 3M began as a modest mining venture in Northern Minnesota. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global powerhouse, driving innovation across industries and improving lives worldwide. Now recognized as a staple on the Fortune 500 list, 3M continues to lead the way in developing technology that powers industry, enhances home life, and improves patient outcomes, especially in the healthcare sector, where its cutting-edge products support clinicians and patients alike.

Enhancing Patient Comfort: Innovative Patient Warming Solutions

Keeping a patient’s core temperature stable during surgery is critical. Once anesthetized, patients lose the ability to regulate their own body heat, making them vulnerable to unintended hypothermia, a condition associated with higher risks of wound infections, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality. To help address this, 3M developed the industry-leading Bair Hugger Patient Warming system, designed to deliver safe and consistent temperature management throughout procedures.

The Bair Hugger Model 775 Warming Unit, available through MFI Medical, combines precision and ease of use in a compact design. It features dual airflow settings, hose-end temperature sensing, and three internal temperature sensors, working together to provide fast and reliable warming performance.

For a more compact and portable option, the Bair Paws Model 875 Warming Unit supports forced-air warming throughout the perioperative process. With patient-adjustable temperature settings, it allows individuals to choose their own comfort level. Its versatile design includes mounting options for walls, bedrails, IV poles, and flat surfaces, making it easy to integrate into any care environment.

Advancing Care: Internal Medicine Innovations

3M also contributes significantly to internal medicine with essential tools that support both diagnosis and infection control. From trusted stethoscopes to high-performance hygiene products, 3M continues to advance clinical care across multiple specialties.

The Littmann Stethoscope, a name synonymous with acoustic excellence, is a staple in clinics and hospitals worldwide. Among the most popular models is the Littmann Classic III Stethoscope, which delivers superior sound quality and durability. Ideal for both students and experienced professionals, this stethoscope supports accurate assessments of heart, lung, and other bodily sounds, aiding diagnosis and patient monitoring with confidence.

Effective hand hygiene is critical in preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), which are often transmitted by touch. 3M’s Avagard product line provides powerful germ-fighting capabilities while being gentle enough for repeated use. The Avagard Universal Hands-Free Wall Dispenser supports hygienic, touch-free operation and is compatible with 1,000 mL wedge-style bottles. Pair it with the Avagard D Instant Hand Antiseptic for a skin-friendly formula that kills bacteria quickly without causing dryness or irritation.

Empowering Independence: Home Care Solutions

Beyond hospitals and clinics, 3M also supports wellness at home. Through its FUTURO brand, the company offers a wide range of compression and support garments designed to relieve discomfort, support healing, and encourage mobility.

Products like the FUTURO Comfort Lift Ankle Support provide light compression and gentle heat retention, helping alleviate symptoms from minor sprains, arthritis, and everyday strain. Its contoured sleeve design ensures a comfortable, all-day fit.

For back support, the FUTURO Stabilizing Back Support delivers firm yet flexible stabilization. With customizable, adjustable straps, it provides the right level of support during exercise, work, or daily activities. This helps users regain confidence and mobility.
