Pressure ulcers, also known as pressure injuries, damage, and decubitus, primarily occur on the skin or underlying tissues, especially in people suffering from illness, neurological disease, and poor posture. A recent survey conducted in the UK found that nearly 4-10 percent of patients admitted to the hospital suffer from pressure ulcers, leading to one in 20 patients developing this condition. Lifestyle changes reduced physical activities, and low blood supply in particular areas are the primary reasons behind the development of pressure ulcers. Pressure relief devices are also in demand among people suffering from dementia, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity, further driving the growth of the market.
