What Are the Causes of Sacral Ulcers
A sacral ulcer (bedsore), also known as a sacral pressure ulcer or a sacral decubitus ulcer, is a type of wound on the skin over the sacrum, the triangular bone located at the base of the spine.
Sacral ulcers usually develop due to prolonged pressure or friction on the skin, and can be an issue for those who are immobile or dealing with limited mobility.
Contributing factors include moisture buildup, poor nutrition and even poor hydration. For some patients, medical conditions that affect blood flow (such as diabetes, for example) can increase the risk of developing sacral ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and other sores.
Expert Mobile Wound Care for Sacral Ulcers
Patients with bedsores face difficulties and discomfort when traveling for wound care, especially if they are wheelchair-bound, bedridden, or have a medical condition that impairs their ability to change positions frequently. Prolonged pressure on specific body areas, like the sacrum, can lead to these pressure ulcers.
Our team of experienced wound care specialists thoroughly assesses the sacral ulcer, considering various factors such as size, depth and stage, as well as the underlying conditions that could contribute to its development. By implementing preventive measures wound care can help reduce the risk of complications such as tissue necrosis, cellulitis, or systemic infections.
Preferred Healthcare’s mobile wound care service provides customized care services at the patient’s home. We understand the challenges experienced by chronic wound care patients, and work to optimize healing outcomes by leveraging the latest wound care technology and technological advancements.

Common Questions About Sacral Ulcers
What are the symptoms of a sacral ulcer?
The symptoms of a sacral ulcer include inflammation or reduced blood flow in the area, leading to tenderness, irritation and swelling in the lower back. If the condition deteriorates, the person may experience open wounds, swelling and drainage caused by infection.
What treatments are available for sacral ulcers?
Treatment for sacral ulcers involves careful wound cleaning, wound debridement to remove dead tissue, with the application of special dressings. It is also essential to monitor the bedsores to prevent infection and reduce the pressure on the affected area.
How do I prevent bedsores from getting worse?
Preventing bedsores from getting worse requires cleaning and monitoring the sacral ulcer. In addition, adjusting position (when sitting or lying down) will help relieve pressure on the area – this reduces pain and helps the ulcer heal.
