Specialized Treatment
Advanced regenerative treatment for pressure injuries and bedsores. Promote faster healing and prevent complications with specialized mobile care.
Pressure sores, also called bedsores, pressure ulcers, or decubitus ulcers, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. They most commonly develop in people with limited mobility who remain in one position for extended periods.
Pressure sores can develop quickly—sometimes within hours—but heal slowly. Advanced stages can extend deep into muscle and bone, causing severe complications including infection, sepsis, and in extreme cases, life-threatening conditions. Approximately 2.5 million people in the United States develop pressure sores each year.
Skin is intact but appears red and does not turn white when pressed. Area may feel warm, firm, or painful. This is the earliest sign and most treatable stage.
The outer layer of skin (epidermis) and part of the underlying layer (dermis) are damaged. Appears as a shallow open wound, blister, or abrasion.
All layers of skin are lost, exposing fatty tissue beneath. The wound appears as a deep crater. Tunneling or undermining may be present. Requires advanced care.
Extensive destruction extends through all layers of skin into muscle, tendon, or bone. Extremely serious, high infection risk. Requires immediate specialized treatment.
Pressure sores form over bony areas where there is less cushioning between bone and skin:
Anyone with limited mobility is at risk, especially those with:
Spinal cord injuries causing paralysis or reduced sensation
Prolonged bed rest after surgery or serious illness
Wheelchair use for extended periods daily
Advanced age with fragile, thin skin
Poor nutrition or dehydration
Diabetes or vascular disease affecting circulation
Incontinence causing prolonged skin moisture
Cognitive impairment preventing position changes
If the underlying mobility issue isn't addressed, continued pressure prevents healing even with treatment.
Deep wounds can develop bacterial infections, including antibiotic-resistant strains, that are difficult to treat.
Pressure restricts circulation to the area, depriving tissue of oxygen and nutrients needed for healing.
Dead tissue (necrosis) must be removed before healing can begin, and advanced stages may expose bone or tendon.
Our comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of pressure sore healing—from immediate treatment to prevention strategies:
Amniotic membrane grafts, stem cells, and biologics accelerate healing of stage 3 and 4 pressure sores by promoting tissue regeneration.
Advanced wound dressings with antimicrobial properties protect against infection while creating optimal healing conditions.
We work with patients and caregivers on repositioning techniques, specialized cushions, and prevention strategies.
Treatment comes to you—whether at home, in a nursing facility, or assisted living—eliminating transportation challenges.
We provide nutrition recommendations to support healing, as proper protein and vitamin intake is critical for tissue repair.

Stage 3 Pressure Sore • Age 81 • Phoenix, AZ
"After my hip surgery, I developed a stage 3 pressure sore while recovering in the nursing home. It was very painful and not healing despite daily wound care. My daughter found Healix360 and arranged for a specialist to visit me at the facility. The doctor was so kind and explained everything clearly about the regenerative treatment."
"The regenerative treatment was painless, and I started seeing improvement within 3 weeks. By week 8, the wound was healed. Best of all, Medicare covered the entire treatment! I'm so grateful I can sit comfortably again and enjoy activities with the other residents."
Even advanced stage 3 and 4 pressure sores can heal with proper regenerative care. Our specialists bring expert treatment directly to you.
