    The document describes the stages of pressure ulcers from stage 1 to stage 4. Stage 1 involves intact skin with non-blanchable erythema. Stage 2 is a partial thickness skin loss exposing dermis. Stage 3 is a full thickness skin loss down to adipose tissue. Stage 4 is a full thickness tissue loss with exposed fascia, muscle or bone. An unstageable ulcer is one where the full extent of tissue damage is obscured.

    Pressure Ulcers- Localized injuries to skin and underlying

    tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin.

    Stage 1

    Intact skin with a localized area of non-blanchable erythema

    Stage 2

    Partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis.

    Stage 3

    Full-thickness loss of skin, in which adipose is visible. Slough

    and/or eschar may be visible.


    Stage 4

    Full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly

    palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in

    the ulcer. Slough and/or eschar may be visible.

    Unstageable

    Full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue

    damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is

    obscured by slough or eschar.
