• Stage 1: a persistent area of skin redness (without a break in the skin); does not disappear when pressure is relieved.
• Stage 2: a partial thickness loss of skin layers involving the epidermis; presents clinically as an abrasion, blister or shallow crater.
• Stage 3: a full thickness of skin is lost extending through the dermis and exposing the subcutaneous tissues.
• Stage 4: a full thickness of skin and subcutaneous tissue is lost, exposing muscle, bone, or both.

Protective Measures for Various Stages of Pressure UlcersProtective Measures for Various Stages of Pressure Ulcers
• Hyperemia: protect the skin with a product such as Duoderm (Squibb) or Tegasorb (3M) before applying the adhesive.
• Ischemia: protect with Vigilon, which contains water and is soothing to the area.
• Necrosis: requires a transparent dressing that protects from bacteria but is permeable to oxygen and water vapor; irrigation is essential during dressing changes.
• Ulceration: debridement is essential.
