Essential Facts About Pressure Ulcers | New Horizon Medical Services
What Are Pressure Ulcers?
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. They commonly develop on bony areas such as the heels, ankles, hips, and tailbone. These wounds can range from mild reddening of the skin to severe tissue damage and infection.
