How to treat bedsore
by Henrik Tarp, Oct 11, 2000 12:00AM
My son who is 28 years old, and tretraplegia is suffering too much from bedsores. Although he can not move he is happy. In fact he is a lawyer handling law on a high level for the goverment, but he has to stay in bed too much time to cure bedsores. Do they i USA have invented somthing to sit on for these patients?

Bedsores are a complex problem. Prevention and treatment require good nursing care as well as a variety of new dressings. There is no "cure," per se, but prevention of complications is possible and essential. My advice is to consult a physician or clinic which specializes in this problem. I would think that anyone who deals with tetraplegia would have the requisite expertise and experience.
Best.
