Skin IQ®
Single patient use powered coverlet managing heat and moisture at the skin’s microclimate
An effective and intuitive solution for the prevention and management of pressure injuries.
Skin IQ is a powered coverlet designed to manage heat and moisture levels at skin’s microclimate to enhance the prevention and management of pressure injuries.Skin IQ is a waterproof yet vapour permeable coverlet that uses Negative Airflow Technology® (NAT) to continually draw away excess moisture and help to control temperature at the skin/surface interface (microclimate), providing a simple yet sophisticated solution to enhance the performance of a support surface with microclimate managing properties.
Bench studies show that the Skin IQ range of powered microclimate management coverlets:
• Remove 3.8 times more moisture at the skin/mattress interface than the same mattress without Skin IQ*.
• Provide a moisture vapour transfer rate (MVTR) of 170 g/m2/hr*.
Intended for single patient use.
