Wound Management Support Surfaces: Powered Covers

Powered covers can be placed directly over a standard mattress. They create a powerful, uninterrupted flow of air beneath the patient to help keep the skin cool, dry, and comfortable. Powered cover systems aid in the reduction of friction, heat, moisture, pressure, and odor in the microenvironment. When used with a pressure redistribution surface, powered covers can aid in the treatment and prevention of pressure injuries. These devices require electricity for proper functioning.
