Pressure ulcers, or bedsores, are caused by prolonged immobility and result in the damage of the skin and underlying tissues. They are a serious condition, requiring intensive nursing care, extending hospitalization, and delaying recovery.

The proper treatment of pressure ulcers depends on the area of the body affected and the severity of the wound.

The specialized nursing staff at Íasi takes responsibility for daily care of pressure ulcers, ensuring early intervention to prevent further spread and the formation of new ulcers.

Our service includes:

• Assessment and frequent re-assessments of the condition, as pressure ulcers are dynamic and can change over time.
• Wound care, cleaning, and disinfection to prevent infection and promote healing.
• Information on medications and technical equipment needed to address the ulcer, including the necessity of using an appropriate static mattress.
• Measures to avoid prolonged pressure by using supportive devices (e.g., foam wedge pillows or silicone rings) and ensuring regular repositioning of the patient.

With proper care and attention, we help prevent further complications and support the healing process, improving the patient’s comfort and quality of life.
