Decubitus ulcers, also known as bed sores or pressure sores, are one of the most common--and potentially most serious--conditions that care givers and patients face.
Decubitus ulcers are sores on the skin, caused by unrelieved pressure on an area that cuts off blood supply. If a pressure sore is not treated, it may worsen and develop into a crater, as well as become infected.
Thankfully, bed sores are preventable. When the skin is kept clean and dry, when pressure is relieved, and when the chance of skin trauma or friction is reduced, the incidence of bed sores drops.
Our mattress pads, heel protectors, elbow protectors, and mobility aids all can help the patient and the care giver to avoid this potentially severe condition.
