Healthcare impact
Pressure ulcers, commonly known as bedsores, are injuries to the underlying tissue and skin that are caused by prolonged pressure. These often affect people who are confined to bed or who seat in a wheelchair or chair for a long period of time. In USA more than 2,5 million individuals develop PU annually. Approximately 60% of the PUs goes unnoticed. Pressure ulcer kills more than car accidents or drug overdoses. Every third spinal cord injured will develop pressure ulcer sooner or later.
