Bedsores – also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers – are injuries to skin or underlying tissues resulting from prolonged and continuous pressure on the skin. People most at risk of developing bedsores and, thus, in need of bedsore treatments are those with a medical condition that limits their ability to change positions, requires them to use a wheelchair or confines them to a bed for a long time.

Bedsores occur due to pressure being applied to soft tissues resulting in the formation of clots in the capillaries carrying blood to the skin which, per se, leads to the formation of dead skin cells. Annually, 2.5 million people worldwide get bedsores. Pressure sores are painful and their medical treatment is very costly. Time is of the utmost importance for patients suffering from bedsores.
