PRESSURE INJURY PREVENTION Skin IQ ® “Controlling microclimate is an important and often overlooked area of pressure ulcer prevention” Advanced microclimate management Dr. Joyce Black, former president, National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Microclimate Management the critical link to skin integrity Skin IQ Microclimate Manager • Microclimate refers to the conditions of moisture and temperature at the point(s) of skin/surface interface1 An effective and intuitive solution for the prevention and management of pressure injuries. • Microclimate is a key factor for patients at risk of maceration and skin breakdown • Excess variation in moisture and/or temperature increases skin sensitivity to the damaging effects of pressure, shear, and friction2 Microclimate Friction Maceration AND/OR Shear Pressure injuries • A waterproof, vapour-permeable top layer that offers a bacterial and viral barrier3 • Negative Airflow Technology (NAT) continually draws excess moisture away from the skin / mattress interface. Bench studies show that Skin IQ MCM removes 3.8 times more moisture at the skin/mattress interface than the same mattress without Skin IQ MCM4 • Bench studies show that Skin IQ MCM reduces staphylococcus aureus growth by 3.1 logs over a 24 hour period. A percentage reduction of greater than 99.9%.5,* • Bench studies show that Skin IQ MCM significantly reduces odour at the skin/mattress interface when compared to the same surface without airflow6 • Designed for compatibility with pressure redistribution mattresses on the market today (eg, AtmosAir™ 9000 Mattress Replacement System) *The level of treament stated indicates theoretical levels
