About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled Trial Assessing Use of Skin IQ™ MCM Compared to Current Standard of Care for the Management of Moisture and Temperature at the Patient/Surface Interface for Prevention of Pressure Ulcer Development

The study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical study evaluating the effects of microclimate management using Skin IQ™ MCM coverlet placed over commercially available pressure redistribution surfaces compared to standard of care (SOC). The objective of this study is to evaluate if a commercially available pressure redistribution surface when combined with the Skin IQ™ MCM coverlet will significantly reduce pressure ulcer (PU) incidence as compared to use of a commercially available pressure redistribution surface by itself by decreasing the effects of excessive moisture and temperature at the skin and surface interface.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, randomized, controlled study is designed to capture, evaluate and compare the effects of Skin IQ™ MCM coverlet placed over commercially available pressure redistribution surfaces versus commercially available pressure redistribution surface (SOC) used by itself to manage patients at risk for tissue breakdown.

Anticipation is that 160 Subjects will need to be screened and consented to achieve the desired sample size of 136 Subjects at up to 5 centers. Individual Subject, Standard Time of Observation: Up to 60 days for incidence of PU development; beyond 60 days, only hospital discharge date and disposition will be collected. The safety endpoint is the incidence of device-related serious adverse events (SAEs).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skin IQ™ MCM CoverletDevice

    Test article is the Skin IQ™ MCM, a Class II 510k exempt product. It is an overlay coverlet indicated to be used in conjunction with a pressure redistribution surface in order to aid in the prevention and treatment of skin breakdown and pressure ulcers for patients who require microclimate management of the skin.

  • Pressure redistribution surfaceOther

    Standard of Care (SOC): pressure redistribution surface already in use at the participating institution to manage patients at risk for tissue breakdown
