Dr. Agarwal offers specialized surgical solutions to effectively treat and manage pressure sores, restoring comfort and improving your overall quality of life.

Understanding Pressure Sores

Before proceeding further, let's first understand about the pressure sores. Pressure sores typically develop on bony areas of the body, such as the hips, heels, elbows, and lower back.

Understanding Pressure Sores

  • Prolonged Immobility
  • Poor Circulation
  • Friction or shear forces on the skin
  • Malnutrition or Dehydration

These sores progress in stages, from mild skin redness to deeper wounds that can affect muscles, tendons, and bones. Advanced-stage pressure sores often require the intervention of the pressure sore surgeon in Kolkata to heal effectively. Stages of Pressure Sores:

Stage
01
Skin remains intact but shows persistent redness or discoloration, with pain or discomfort.
Stage
02
Open sore or blister forms with partial skin loss, resembling a shallow wound.
Stage
03
Deep crater-like wound develops, with full-thickness skin loss extending to subcutaneous fat.
Stage
04
Severe wound with exposed muscle, tendon, or bone, often accompanied by dead tissue and infection.

Unstageable

Covered by dead tissue (eschar or slough), making the severity of the wound unclear.

Deep Tissue Injury (DTI)

A bruised area with intact skin, indicating damage to deeper tissues.
