Stage 1 - Non-Blanchable Redness

The skin remains intact but presents with persistent redness that does not blanch when pressed. Early intervention includes repositioning to relieve pressure and ensuring proper hydration and skin care.

Stage 4 - Full-Thickness Tissue Loss:

This severe stage involves damage to muscle, bone, or

supporting structures like tendons. Treatment may require surgical intervention, aggressive wound care, infection control, and nutritional support.

Stage 2 - Partial-Thickness Skin Loss

The wound involves a break in the skin or the formation of a

blister. This stage may extend into the dermis but does not reach deeper tissues. Treatment involves cleaning the wound, applying appropriate dressings, and maintaining a moisture balance.

Stage 5 - Unstageable Pressure Ulcers

These wounds are covered by slough or eschar, making it difficult to determine the depth. Treatment focuses on removing non-viable tissue to assess the wound and proceed with appropriate care.

Stage 3 - Full-Thickness Skin Loss

The ulcer progresses to involve the full thickness of the skin,

exposing subcutaneous tissue but not muscle or bone. Management includes debridement, advanced

dressings, and measures to reduce pressure.
