Hospital bed mattress overlay Skin IQ® 1000

fabric120x200 cmwith low-friction surface

Skin IQ® 1000 is a powered coverlet for use in combination with a pressure redistribution surface to help prevent pressure injuries. Skin IQ uses Negative Airflow Technology® (NAT) to continually draw away excess moisture and help to control temperature at the skin/surface interface (microclimate). Microclimate refers to the conditions of moisture and temperature at the point(s) of skin/surface interface¹, and is a key factor for patients at risk of skin maceration and breakdown. Excess moisture and/or temperature can increase skin sensitivity to the damaging effects of pressure, shear, and friction². - Negative airflow technology® (NAT) continually draws excess moisture away from the skin/mattress interface Bench studies show that the Skin IQ range of powered microclimate management coverlets remove 3.8x more moisture at the skin/mattress interface¹ than the same mattress without Skin IQ and provide a moisture vapour transfer rate (MVTR) of 170 g/m2/hr¹ - Waterproof, vapour-permeable top layer offers a microbial barrier² and helps to reduce shear and friction³ - Designed for compatibility with most pressure redistribution mattresses on the market today - Atmosair Velaris® and Auralis® pumps feature integrated Skin IQ ports - Quick, intuitive setup and maintenance: Simply fit over support surface/mattress and plug in to operate - Low profile design
