A pressure sore — also called a pressure ulcer, bedsore, or pressure injury — is a wound that develops when sustained pressure cuts off blood flow to skin and the tissue beneath it, causing cells to die. They most commonly form over bony prominences such as the sacrum, hips, heels, and ischial tuberosities in people who spend long periods in bed or a wheelchair. Treatment depends on the depth and stage of the wound: early-stage sores (Stage 1 and 2) often respond well to consistent pressure relief, appropriate wound dressings, and nutritional support, while deeper wounds (Stage 3 and 4) with exposed muscle or bone frequently require surgical debridement and reconstructive flap surgery to achieve durable closure. Care is multidisciplinary, always including a wound care team, nutritionist, and physiotherapist, and prevention of recurrence is as important as treating the active wound.
A structured non-surgical programme of pressure relief, advanced wound dressings, infection control, and nutrition optimisation — effective for Stage 1, 2, and selected Stage 3 wounds.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
Typical tests: CBC (complete blood count), CRP and ESR (inflammatory markers), Blood glucose and HbA1c (for diabetic patients), Serum albumin and total protein (nutritional status), Wound swab / tissue culture and sensitivity, Kidney and liver function tests, X-ray of wound area (to rule out osteomyelitis if Stage 3). Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $3,500
Treatment duration in India: ~3 weeks (~7 hospital visit days across the full span)
Surgical removal of dead, infected, or necrotic tissue from the wound bed under anaesthesia — the fastest way to clean a pressure sore and prepare it for healing or further reconstruction.
