Abstract: In the healthcare field there are specific wounds generally referred to as “pressure ulcers” or “decubitus ulcers”. These wounds are generally caused by: direct constant pressure to body tissues; internal disease or disorders which surface on the skin; urine or fecal material constantly in contact with skin causing breakdown; lack of proper nutrition; or, a combination of all of these factors. These wounds occur mostly on “bed-ridden patients” whose debilitation is such that they cannot react to their body's neurological signals for them to adjust their position. Most of these patients are prone, some are underweight with out muscle or fatty tissue (which leads to more severe “bony prominences”), some are contracted, and most lay on standard mattresses.
