This comprehensive and highly detailed stages of pressure ulcers chart shows a visual representation of where common pressure ulcers (also called pressure sores, decubitus ulcers and bedsores) typically occur.

Elderly patients and people with diabetes and circulation problems are at a higher risk of experiencing pressure ulcers. Areas of the body which are vulnerable to pressure ulcers are highlighted at the bottom of this chart. They include the back of the head and ears, shoulder, elbow, lower back, buttocks, hip, heel and inner knees.

Designed by our professional medical illustrators and exclusive to AnatomyStuff, this informative chart breaks down the stages of pressure ulcer development from a mild to more severe presentation.

The pressure ulcer poster features:

• A cross-section of the anatomy of skin and bone 
• Stage 1 Pressure ulcer with inflamed skin 
• Stage 2 Pressure ulcer with broken skin 
• Stage 3 Pressure ulcer with subcutaneous fat involvement 
• Stage 4 Pressure ulcer with undermining, muscle and bone involvement  
• Illustration showing vulnerable pressure ulcer areas 

Designed and printed in the UK.

The Stages of Pressure Ulcers chart is 65 x 50 cm, making it sufficiently large for clinic displays. Lamination allows for annotation with a washable marker pen (not supplied). Our range of anatomical wall charts make perfect displays for use by professionals in a clinic and students.
