Skin IQ microclimate management in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment<br />

Eddy Koopman<br />

The Skin IQ microclimate manager is intended to help prevent the skin against the effects of external<br />

forces such as friction, shear and pressure. A reduction in skin moisture levels and temperature is intended<br />

to help reduce the oxygen and nutrient demands and reduce the coefficient of friction. This session will<br />

show the results of microclimate management using the Skin IQ MCM in patients that suffered from skin<br />

complications as a result of moisture in our hospital. Clinical outcome, patient and care giver experiences will<br />

be presented.<br />
