Pressure Ulcers

Pressure ulcers sound like an innocuous condition, but in fact they can be extremely dangerous, especially to those who are physically challenged, have diabetes, or who live in long term care facilities like nursing homes. In fact, actor and activist Christopher Reeves' untimely death at age 51 was attributed to a pressure ulcer.  In this program we explain what pressure ulcers are, see how they develop, and how they can be prevented. We also examine an innovative therapy that is helping to heal pressure ulcers quickly and painlessly.
