Pressure InjuriesPressure injuries develop when constant pressure on an area of skin reduces
blood supply to the skin and nearby tissue. Pressure injuries can range from mild
reddening of the skin (early stage) to severe tissue damage that extends
through the skin and soft tissue and into the bone (late stage). ByHealthwise Staff
