SKIN IQ Microclimate Manage
Arjo’s Skin IQ® Microclimate Manager (MCM) is a fluid resistant, vapor permeable, single patient use mattress cover for use with a pressure redistribution surface to help prevent and treat Stage I-IV pressure injuries. Designed for compatibility with most support surfaces on the market without compromising the pressure redistribution performance of the support surface.
Description
Skin IQ Family is a simple and sophisticated solution with proven performance for managing skin microclimate. Waterproof, vapour permeable top layer offers a bacterial and viral barrier. Negative Airflow Technology (NAT) continually draws excess moisture away from the skin / mattress interface.
- Bench studies show that Skin IQ removes 3.8 times more moisture at the skin/mattress interface than the same mattress without Skin IQ.
- Bench studies show that Skin IQ reduces staphylococcus aureus growth by 3.1 logs over a 24 hour period. A percentage reduction of greater than 99.9%
- Bench studies show that Skin IQ significantly reduces odour at the skin/surface interface when compared to the same surface without airflow.
- Breathability: Skin IQ provides a moisture vapour transfer rate (MVTR) of 171g/m2/hr⁸.
- Top layer material helps reduce shear and friction.
- Quick, intuitive setup and maintenance.
- For MULTIPLE USE – Skin IQ 365
- For SINGLE USE – Skin IQ MCM
- For Overweight patients (up to 454kg) – Skin IQ 1000.
An effective and intuitive solution for the prevention and management of pressure injuries.
Microclimate Management the critical link to skin integrity
- Microclimate refers to the conditions of moisture and temperature at the point(s) of skin/surface interface.
- 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 friction.
Using the coverlet together with the a therapeutic surfacethe patient is provided with a complete and effective solution to avoid or treat all degrees of pressure injuries in a shorter time.
In addition to the clinical benefit for patients, and given that bedsores are the fourth most costly condition worldwide, Skin IQ is a cost-effective solution for the Hospital.
The microclimate patient Skin IQ
Microclimate Manager delivers microclimate therapy for the prevention and management of pressure injuries. Patients with suspected or confirmed microclimate management requirements may benefit from the use of Skin IQ as part of a pressure injury prevention and management solution. A full holistic assessment of the patient should be considered before implementing microclimate control measures to ensure product functionality is matched with individual therapy goals.
