Areas of the body where bones are close to the surface and areas that are under the most pressure are at greatest risk for developing pressure sores. Once you know this, then pressure sore prevention becomes more understandable. Pressure sores are commonly found in the coccyx area first. These are often followed by heel pressure sores- both of these body areas should be checked daily.
Pressure sores do not have to occur and in 98% of cases, they can be prevented. Pressure sores are not not necessary and should not be expected if proper care is used. Proper care means moving every 20-30 minutes and using pressure sore prevention surfaces eg Shear Comfort products.
