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 ulcers through Stage IV 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.

Span-America introduces The Topper, the industry’s first completely reusable powered air coverlet for management of excess heat and moisture within the microenvironment. The Topper MicroEnvironment Manager is an easy on/easy off upgrade to any pressure redistributing support surface to help reduce heat, moisture, pressure, shear and odor in the micro-environment without the need for expensive disposable components. Patented air flow design delivers superior heat and moisture removal in standardized lab testing. Topper attaches like a fitted sheet to any standard pressure redistributing surface, so it requires no training or adjustment.
