Nursing measures for pressure ulcers?
Patients with pressure ulcers are susceptible to infection because they lose the protective barrier of their skin. Therefore, the care of pressure ulcers should first pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene. Iodophor can be often used for local disinfection, or it can be used externally under the guidance of a doctor-Quick Chuangfuqing Bedsore Shengji Ointment-to promote recovery. Secondly, for the care of pressure ulcers, the most important thing is to pay attention to turning over frequently. Patients who keep a posture for a long time will get worse symptoms due to the oppression of local tissues, so they should often turn over or do local massage to promote blood circulation.

After washing the wound with normal saline, apply the wound with-Suchuangfuqing bedsore Shengji Ointment and gauze, covering and dressing, once a day 1 ~ 2 times.
