Pressure ulcers are complex chronic wounds for which no gold standard treatment has yet been established, although guidelines have been developed. At present, treatment involves assessment, reduction of pressure, friction and shear forces, optimising local wound care, debridement of necrotic tissue, managing bacterial contamination and correcting nutritional deficits.1 In addition, electrical stimulation, ultraviolet irradiation and local ointments including silver sulphadiazine, neomycin, polymixin and phenytoin have been applied, with varying results.
