The Topper MicroEnvironment Manager™ System by Span America

Is the industry’s first completely reusable powered air coverlet for management of excess heat and moisture within the microenvironment. The Topper is powered by the same, patented Air Diffusion Matrix technology first pioneered in the company’s category-leading microclimate management support surfaces, including the PressureGuard® Easy Air™ series, PressureGuard® Custom Care® Convertible LAL and PressureGuard® Protocol™.

The system provides a gentle flow of air directly to the underside of its highly vapor permeable top layer, carrying away excess moisture vapor to help protect vulnerable skin.

When evaluated in an environmentally controlled, certified test lab using the most current standardized testing for moisture vapor removal, The Topper outperformed a wide variety of products including typical low-air-loss surfaces and powered covers.

Low profile allows effective performance without the safety compromises inherent in traditional low air loss overlay products.  Interaction of inner air layer and top layer help offset the effects of shearing and friction.

System includes fitted air cover, powered control unit & carry bag.

Indications

• Excessive perspiration or maceration
• The Topper is indicated for use in combination with a pressure redistributing surface to aid in the prevention and treatment of skin breakdown and pressure injuries through Stage 4 by reducing excess heat and moisture within the microclimate, especially in patients who are obese, febrile and/or diaphoretic due to infection, antibiotics and/or analgesics.
