Pressure Injury Prevention in Adelaide By Compassion Wings
Maintaining healthy skin is crucial for maintaining your overall well-being, especially for people with developmental delays, mobility limitations, or chronic health conditions. At Compassion Wings, we provide expert pressure injury prevention and management in Adelaide to support participants in maintaining skin integrity, managing complex wound care, and preventing pressure-related complications.
Our team of qualified nurses and allied health professionals work closely with participants, families, and support coordinators to deliver person-centred care for the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of pressure-related injuries, such as bedsores or pressure ulcers.
What are Pressure Injuries?
Pressure injury is a rupture or damage to the skin and underlying tissue, usually caused by prolonged friction, pressure and blunt force. These are common occurrences for people with mobility issues who need wheelchairs to move, are forced to stay in bed for prolonged periods or suffer from chronic conditions like diabetes or neurological disorders.
Without our expert intervention, pressure injuries can cause intense pain, serious infections and prevent you from leading a quality of life.
