Bed sores are a serious condition that unfortunately occurs far too often in nursing homes and hospitals. Seat sores and pressure sores are both known as bed sores and speak of the damage that occurs when tissue and skin are continuously pressed against bones. Bedsores particularly affect people who are wheelchair-bound or immobilised for other reasons. The constant pressure on the tissue stops the blood supply and the tissue dies. The wound is then very prone to infection. It is therefore crucial to prevent bedsores and treat them with anti-bedsore products where possible.

Cream (bed sores)

Prevention is the key to avoiding pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers can develop in a short time, one day with too much pressure can be enough to cause serious damage. Therefore, patients who cannot move themselves should be turned as often as possible. A special foam or water mattress and pillow is also a good solution.
