| Â | A bed dynamically conforms to your body, providing superior support and pressure relief. |
 | | The bed sore is an ulceration of skin and underlying tissue caused by pressure that limits the blood supply to the affected area. | | | Therefore, a person with bed sores who is on an innerspring mattress is likely to never have their bed sores heal. | | | This is due to the fact that innerspring mattresses create pressure points, which is the direct cause of bed sores in the first place. |

| | Bed sores can occur when a person is bedridden, unconscious, unable to sense pain, or immobile. | | | Bed sores can be prevented by inspecting the skin for areas of redness (the first sign of skin breakdown). | | | Specific treatment of a bed sore is determined by your physician and based on the severity of the condition. |

| | When you are very sick, you are prone to have skin breakdown wherever the weight of your body presses into the bed. | | | If you are at great risk for skin breakdown, you may want to get a special "flotation" bed, which can be rented for home use. | | | You may need special medications, dressings, or bed accessories (such as soft pads or heel protectors) to provide added skin protection. |

| | Rather, it is a system designed to describe the depth of a pressure sore at the specific time of examination, to facilitate communication among the various disciplines involved in the study and care of such patients. | | | Because the common denominator of all such ulcerations is pressure, pressure sore is the better term to describe this condition. | | | Among patients who are neurologically impaired, pressure sores occur with an annual incidence of 5-8%, with lifetime risk estimated to be 25-85%. |
