Wikipedia definition
2. Pressure ulcer​Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are lesions caused by unrelieved pressure on soft tissues overlying a bony prominence which reduces or completely obstructs the blood flow to the superficial tissues. Most commonly this will be the sacrum or the hips, but other sites such as the elbows, knees, ankles or the back of the cranium can be affected. It is widely believed that other factors can influence the occurrence and development of pressure ulcers.
