What Causes Sacral Ulcers
Sacral ulcers—also known as sacral pressure ulcers or bedsores—develop on the skin over the sacrum, the triangular bone located at the base of the spine. These ulcers most often occur due to prolonged pressure or friction, particularly in individuals who are immobile or have limited mobility.
Additional contributing factors may include excess moisture, inadequate nutrition, dehydration, and medical conditions that impair circulation. Conditions such as diabetes and vascular disease can further increase the risk of sacral ulcers and other chronic wounds.
Expert Mobile Wound Care for Sacral Ulcers
Traveling for wound care can be difficult and uncomfortable for patients who are bedridden, wheelchair-dependent, or unable to reposition frequently. Prolonged pressure on the sacral area increases the risk of skin breakdown and ulcer formation.
Our mobile wound care specialists perform thorough assessments of sacral ulcers, evaluating wound size, depth, stage, and contributing health factors. Early and consistent care helps reduce the risk of complications such as infection, tissue damage, or delayed healing.
Pure Life Medical delivers personalized wound care directly to the patient’s location, using advanced techniques and modern technology to support healing and improve outcomes for individuals with chronic wounds.
