Decubitus ulcers

Also known as pressure sore, a lesion that develops on the skin and underlying tissues due to unrelieved pressure usually over a bony prominence. The skin and tissues rely on an adequate blood supply for oxygen and nutrients. When tissues are compressed for an extended period (even two hours), blood supply can be cut off, leading to development of a sore.
