Treatment of Bedsores
Specific treatment of a bedsore is discussed with you by your healthcare provider and wound care team and based on the severity of the condition. Treatment may be more difficult once the skin is broken, and may include the following:

Removing pressure on the affected area
Protecting the wound with medicated gauze or other special dressings
Keeping the wound clean
Ensuring good nutrition
Removing the damaged, infected, or dead tissue (debridement)
Transplanting healthy skin to the wound area (skin grafts)
Negative pressure wound therapy
Medicine (such as antibiotics to treat infections)
