    GlossaryPressure Ulcers (Pressure Sores)

    injuries to skin and tissue from prolonged pressure, often in bedridden individuals

    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 of the body, such as the heels, ankles, hips, and tailbone, particularly in individuals who are bedridden or have limited mobility. These ulcers can range from mild reddening of the skin to severe tissue damage, including infections that can penetrate to muscle and bone.
