Prolonged pressure is often viewed as the largest extrinsic factor in pressure injuries development, an appreciation for Skin Integrity and its key role in effective pressure injury prevention and treatment is growing.

Cleansing Moisturizing and Protecting the Skin
As we age the skin begins to structurally and functionally change making it a less efficient barrier against moisture loss and environmental factors¹. A good skin integrity maintenance program begins with 3 steps cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting the skin.

Microclimate Management: the critical link to Skin Integrity
Skin IQ Coverlet microclimate manager with Negative Airflow Technology wicks away excess moisture from the patient’s skin/surface interface. Reducing the patient’s skin/surface interface temperature, and moisture on skin, improves patient comfort, and promotes the optimal conditions for skin integrity.

Regular repositioning can minimize the risk of pressure injury
Manual repositioning may contribute to pressure injury development due to the increased shear and friction exerted on the skin².
At Arjo we believe frequent repositioning can be made easier and safer with the appropriate low-friction reusable or disposable patient handling equipment to help facilitate both patient repositioning in bed and transfers out of bed.
