Bed sores, also called pressure sores or pressure ulcers, form from prolonged pressure on the skin causing these injuries. Bed sores mostly develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as the heels, ankles, hips, and tailbone. Most at risk of bed sores are people 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.
Bed sores can develop quickly, are painful, and are often difficult to treat. There are several things that may prevent some bed sores from developing as well as assist and with healing. Shifting the weight of the body often is important to relieve the pressure points. Proper nutrition, exercise and hydration are critical to healing the wounds.
For the management of bed sores, we recommend a twice daily application of NeoGenesis Recovery serum to the wound. Recovery naturally heals the skin, delivering nutrient rich molecules that are involved in healing of wounds.
Daily use of Recovery, or application of Recovery when the wound dressing is changed, will help to create an environment at the wound site to facilitate and expedite healing.
