Explore the Science Beneath the Surface 

Dive into the latest testing standards to help you choose the right surfaces to prevent and manage pressure injuries.

Today’s support surfaces are as varied as the patients who use them. That’s why the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) offers comprehensive standards to help healthcare professionals evaluate the effectiveness of support surfaces..

In this whitepaper, “Standardized Tests to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Support Surfaces,” we review the latest updates to NPIAP surface testing standards and provide an in-depth look at how the ANSI/RESNA SS-1 test methods measure performance relating to:

• Immersion & Envelopment
• Microclimate management
• Horizontal Stiffness
