2 What is a pressure ulcer (PU) Pressure ulcers (bedsores or pressure sores) are injuries to your skin and/or the underlying tissue. You usually get them over a bony area. They are usually caused by pressure on your skin. They can range from patches of discoloured skin (stage 1 pressure ulcer/pu) to open wounds where the underlying bone or muscle show through (deep tissue injury). Below are some examples. Stage 1 PU Stage 2 PU Stage 3 PU Stage 4 PU Unstageable Suspected deep tissue injury How are pressure ulcers treated? Treatment depends on the stage of your ulcer. It can include regularly changing your position or using a special mattress or heel protector to relieve pressure. In some cases, you may need surgery. Dressing your pressure ulcer A nurse will assess your ulcer and recommend a care plan to treat it. Many types of dressing are used to treat pressure ulcers. Your district nurse, tissue viability nurse or GP (home doctor) will choose the right dressing for your pressure ulcer. Most dressings are left on for several days, while others may need changing more often. 2
