InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection
InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection System is the FIRST and ONLY of its kind that provides active moisture removal and temperature reduction at the surface of the skin in the chest and face, which are areas shown to be at greatest risk for pressure injury in the prone position.
76% of pressure injuries occur in the face and chest.
InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection provides airflow to the face and chest of patients in the prone position that actively reduces moisture and temperature. This system provides 10x greater moisture removal in the face as compared to manual prone positioning foam.
Prone Position and Skin Breakdown
- The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel identifies the areas at risk for breakdown in the prone position as: forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, clavicle/shoulder, elbow, chest/breasts, genitalia, anterior pelvic bones, knees, and dorsal feet/toes. InteliDerm’s proprietary patent-pending technology is designed to reduce the risk for breakdown in many of these areas by managing the microclimate at the surface of the skin.
- Current recommendations to prevent skin breakdown include keeping the skin dry and cool as much as possible.
- Temperature and moisture affect the structure and function of the skin, increasing the risk for damage to the skin.
- Increases in skin temperature are independently associated with a higher risk for skin breakdown.
The InteliDerm Solution
Pressure Reduction
Highly resilient foam allows the patient to immerse and be enveloped in the InteliDerm support surface, increasing surface area and decreasing interface pressure (pressure points).
Moisture Removal
Active moisture vapor removal manages moisture at the surface of the skin, which in turn reduces the risk for friction and shearing at the surface of the skin.
Protection from Friction and Shear
The material on the InteliDerm surface reduces friction and shear, protecting the surface of the skin.
Temperature Reduction
InteliDerm active airflow technology provides a cooling effect at the surface of the skin
