Bed Sores
Bed Sores (Pressure Ulcers) Treatment at Charana Raksha
Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are wounds caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. They commonly affect individuals who are bedridden, immobile, or use wheelchairs, developing over bony areas such as the heels, sacrum (lower back), hips, elbows, and ankles.
Recognizing the urgency and complexity of managing these wounds, our dedicated team at Charana Raksha Hospital specializes in advanced wound care, focusing not only on healing existing bed sores but also on preventing their recurrence.
