Life/Form® Pressure Ulcer/Bedsore Models

The Life/form Pressure Ulcer/Bedsore Models demonstrate pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or decubitus wounds, that affect over one million adults every year.
 

The wounds can range from superficial and mildly red on the skin surface to an extremely infected, deep, open wound penetrating down to the bone with blackened or dead tissue.
 

These models illustrate all four wound stages and are used to give instruction on the care and cleaning of the ulcers.
 

The Life/form Pressure Ulcer/Bedsore Models are made with Life/like Skin for realism
