Product Details
Turn Any Mattress into a MicroClimate-Controlling System
The Span-America Topper MicroEnvironment Manager is a powered, reusable air coverlet designed to transform any pressure-redistributing mattress into a low-air-loss therapy surface. It delivers targeted airflow to reduce excess heat and moisture, protecting the skin from breakdown and irritation. Using patented Air Diffusion Matrix™ technology, The Topper creates an effective microclimate without the bulk or instability of traditional overlays. It’s ideal for patients who are at risk of skin breakdown due to immobility, fever, sweating, or infection. The coverlet fits over a mattress like a fitted sheet and can be easily cleaned, wiped down, or machine washed.
