Bedsore Management – Prevention & Care for Faster Healing

Bedsores (also called pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers) are painful wounds caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, usually over bony areas such as the back, hips, heels, and elbows. If left untreated, they can lead to serious infections, fever, weakness, and delayed recovery.

At HCAH SuVitas Rehabilitation and Recovery Centers, we provide specialized bedsore management and prevention programs for bedridden patients, ensuring comfort, dignity, and faster recovery.

Bedsores are common in patients who are:

• Bedridden after stroke, trauma, or surgery
• Wheelchair-bound or with impaired mobility
• Elderly with chronic conditions (diabetes, paralysis, cancer, dementia)
• Malnourished or dehydrated
• In long-term hospital or home care

If you notice redness, skin breaks, foul smell, fever, or pus discharge, immediate medical intervention is required.

At HCAH SuVitas, we follow a comprehensive bedsore management protocol designed by our nursing and rehabilitation specialists:

• Pressure Relief: Turning and repositioning every 2–3 hours, use of airbeds, cushions, and soft padding
• Wound Care: Cleaning, dressing, and monitoring the wound to promote healing
• Infection Control: Use of antibiotics (if required) and sterile techniques to prevent spread
• Pain Management: Medications and comfort positioning to reduce discomfort
• Nutritional Support: High-protein diet, hydration, and supplements to promote faster recovery
• Surgical Intervention (if required): For advanced sores that don’t heal with conservative care

• Expert Nursing Care: 24×7 trained caregivers and nurses
• Advanced Equipment: Airbeds, ripple mattresses, and support cushions
• Multidisciplinary Team: Doctors, dieticians, physiotherapists, and psychologists involved in holistic care
• Track Record of Trust: Over 25,000+ successful patient recoveries across India
• Convenient Options: Inpatient, outpatient, and at-home care services available

Don’t let bedsores delay recovery or cause unnecessary suffering. Early treatment ensures faster healing and prevents complications.
