Pressure
ulcers, also known as decubitus or bedsores, are caused by continuous
pressure on any part of the body, but especially on the bony and
cartilaginous areas. Pressure ulcers develop readily during long
confinements to bed and therefore, are prevalent during prolonged
illnesses and/or in permanently bed bound persons, such as the
elderly people.
Pressure
ulcers are very painful and in advanced stages progressively more
difficult to treat and heal. Non-healing pressure ulcers can be life
threatening. They exert further suffering and trauma on people that
are already weakened by other underlying conditions, disabilities or
injuries.
When
dealing with pressure ulcers, therapeutic goals are to control the
pain, whilst inducing tissue regeneration and accelerating wound
healing.
Laser
phototherapy delivers outstanding results in healing of pressure
sores. Biostimulating laser light improves blood flow and energises
affected tissues. It activates cellular metabolism and speeds up
healing processes. Laser phototherapy treatment reduces pain
naturally and without side effects.
Laser
phototherapy is totally painless and does not traumatise the
patients. The treatment is simple and easy to perform either by
medical professionals or by the carers. Achieving good outcomes in
the difficult healing of pressure ulcers is pleasing and rewarding
for everyone - the patients and the therapists alike.
