anyone can develop a pressure injury if you are unable to move maybe as a result
of an injury or a serious illness you are immediately at risk pressure
injuries can be excruciatingly painful and life-threatening destroying organs
tendons and bones they are difficult to treat drive up health care costs and
place an additional strain on caregiving resources yet we know that the majority
of these injuries can be avoided there are five key risk factors in the
development of a pressure injury pressure and friction shear temperature
and moisture with right solutions it is possible to address each and every one
of these factors we can control heat and moisture between the patients and their
support surface using microclimate management microclimate management is
recognized by clinical experts as essential to the effective prevention
and treatment of pressure injuries across all patient demographics and
clinical care settings skin IQ is the first powered coverlet to support
treatment and prevention of pressure injuries through advanced microclimate
management a highly versatile solution it is compatible with almost all
surfaces the coverlet protects fragile skin by enhancing the control of
temperature and moisture between the skin and the mattress helping you keep
your patient cool and dry studies show that skin IQ removes three point eight
times more moisture at the skin and mattress interface than the same
mattress without skin IQ negative airflow technology keeps patients cool and dry
while a high moisture vapor transfer rate delivers outstanding breathability
we also have included a vapor permeable top layer to protect fragile skin from a
shear and friction while a bacterial and viral barrier reduces the risk of
infection and cross contamination with a range that includes multi-patient
single patients and bariatric coverlets skin IQ gives you the versatility you
need for superior microclimate management to support effective pressure
injury treatment and prevention for all your patients
