ABSTRACT:
A decubitus ulcer, more commonly referred to by a layman as a bedsore, is brought on by continued pressure of a body area where the overlying skin in the area is poorly padded. The most vulnerable areas are the elbows, tailbone, hips, knees, ankles, heels and shoulder blades. The only evaluation of the existence of such an ulcer is solely by record keeping of "eyeball" evaluation.
