What Are Pressure Ulcers?

Also known as bedsores, pressure ulcers are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue that result from prolonged pressure on the skin. Pressure ulcers are more likely to appear over pressure points such as heels, tips of toes, between toes, or anywhere the bones may protrude and rub against socks, shoes, or bed sheets.

The Erler-Zimmer Pressure Ulcer Foot Model includes ulcers demonstrating the four different stages of severity:

• Stage I: Located on the bottom of the toe. Surface of the skin is red
• Stage II: Located on the bottom of the foot just under the toe. Surface of the skin is red and deeper into the skin layers
• Stage III: Located on the side of the foot. Surface of the skin is red, looks more like a crater, and reaches the bottom layer of skin
• Stage IV: Located on the heel of the foot. Surface of the skin is red. A great amount of tissue has been damaged, including muscle, bone, joints, and tendons
