SKIN PROTECTION
Better ventilation promotes
drier, safer skin
Many positioners and skin protectors trap heat and
perspiration, resulting in skin maceration, irritation, and
poor tolerance of the positioner. A proper skin protection
positioner encourages moisture wicking and airflow over
the supported
tissue to aid in
the healing of
wounds and to
promote good
skin integrity.
When it comes
to skin
protectors, you
Cool, dry air in
want yours made with “spacer fabric,” a three-layer
laminate with soft hydrophilic fabric top and bottom. It
readily attracts and wicks away moisture, while the core, a
high pile of springy, woven threads laced together, forms
a highly air-permeable blanket. This promotes air
circulation and, as a result, helps avoid skin maceration.
At AliMed we have been using this type of fabric
laminate in our products for years.
