5 Wound Primer Pressure Ulcers Localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. 4St Stages + Suspected ddeep Tissue Injury Wound Primer: Definition Pressure Ulcers Partial thickness tissue loss Involves epidermis and into but not through the dermis Superficial; presents as shallow crater, abrasion or blister Heals by epithelialization Regeneration of epidermis across a wound surface Includes Stage I and II pressure ulcers Fazzi Associates, Inc. 2

6 Wound Primer: Definition Pressure Ulcers Full thickness tissue loss Penetrates through the fat (subcutaneous s tissue) and may involve muscle, tendon, or bone Deep crater; may tunnel Heals by granulation, contraction and epithelialization Never er considered fully healed Closed when fully granulated and covered with new epithelial tissue Includes Stage III and IV pressure ulcers Suspected Deep Tissue Injury (SDTI) Purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin OR a blood filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear (NPUAP 2007) Fazzi Associates, Inc. 3
