Florida Panhandle Bedsore Treatment Specialists

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - July 6, 2022 - PRLog -- Bedsores, also known as Pressure Ulcers, are caused by pressure against the skin that limits blood flow to the skin. Bedsores are caused by remaining in one position for too long, which can happen if a nursing home resident is bedridden or continuously in a wheelchair.

Older people are at a higher risk of bedsores as many of them can't reposition themselves.

People who use wheelchairs frequently develop bedsores on their tailbones or buttocks, shoulders and spine, and the backs of their arms and legs where they rest on the chair.

People who must remain in bed all day may develop bedsores on their heels, ankles, skin behind their knees, shoulder blades, hip, lower back or tailbone.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bedsores occur in more than 1 in 10 residents in nursing homes. If left untreated, bedsores can be deadly.

There are four stages of bedsores -

Stage 1:
Skin is unbroken but appears red or slightly discolored.
The area may be painful, tender, firm or a different temperature compared with the skin surrounding the ulcer.

Stage 2:
The visible layer of skin, as well as underlying skin, is damaged or lost, resulting in a reddish or pink wound.
The appearance of the ulcer may mimic a blister.

Stage 3:
The wound becomes deeper as skin layers are lost and fat is exposed.
The bedsore takes on a crater-like appearance with a yellow-colored body, indicating dead tissue.

Stage 4:
A large-scale loss of tissue occurs, and the bedsore may expose bone, muscle or tendons.
The bottom of the wound may become dark and crusted.
