Decubitus Ulcer

Massive decubitus ulcers with resultant necrotic tissue and muscle lose.
2nd pic- The wounds have been debrided and a negative pressure suction conected to a drain is insitu. The black areas are sponges which absorb moisture. The surrounding areas are sealed air tight.
3rd pic- almost healed.

Re: Decubitus Ulcer

OH MY GAWD!! To think that some nursing home or caretaker let a patient get this way in the 1st place!!!!

That was quite a feat to get that healed up so nicely. I wonder how long it took?

Re: Decubitus Ulcer

I agree how the hell does someone not care and let it get that bad. I do hope it wasn't a nursing home that still has its doors open. OMG
nice pics tho.
