Advanced regenerative treatment for pressure sores on the tailbone and lower back. The sacrum is the most common location for pressure ulcers—we specialize in healing even the most challenging Stage 3 and 4 wounds.
The sacrum (tailbone area) accounts for 30-40% of all pressure ulcers
Bears significant pressure when lying on back or sitting
Little natural cushioning between bone and skin
Prone to perspiration and incontinence issues
Difficult for patients to see and monitor themselves
Understanding severity helps determine treatment approach
Skin remains intact but appears persistently red or discolored. The redness doesn't fade when pressed (non-blanchable). Area may feel warm, firm, or painful. This is your window for prevention!
The outer layer of skin (epidermis) is damaged. May appear as a shallow open wound, blister, or abraded area. The wound bed is pink/red and painful. Requires proper wound care to prevent progression.
All layers of skin are lost, exposing fatty tissue beneath. Appears as a deep crater. May have tunneling or undermining. Requires advanced regenerative treatment. Without specialized care, healing is extremely difficult.
Extends through all skin layers into muscle, tendon, or bone. May have exposed bone visible in the wound. Extremely serious with high infection risk including osteomyelitis (bone infection). Medical emergency requiring immediate specialized care.
Stage 3 and 4 ulcers require specialized regenerative care
Promotes new blood vessel formation and tissue regeneration. Particularly effective for deep sacral ulcers with compromised blood flow.
Provides antimicrobial properties and growth factors. Creates protective barrier while delivering healing signals.
Removal of dead tissue and infected material. Essential before regenerative therapies can be effective.
Vacuum-assisted closure helps reduce edema, promote blood flow, and prepare wound bed for healing.
