Pressure Area Care

Top Rated4.7(3 reviews)

Pressure sores can range from superficial damage involving little more than skin discolouration to deep ulcers that extend down to tendon and muscle or bone. Pressure sores are an 'avoidable harm', and their prevention is a key area of care in at-risk individuals. Pressure sore assessment and prevention is essential to ensure that individuals receive safe, effective, harm-free care.
