Which Stages of Pressure Ulcer Severity Can I Observe On This Model?

This Erler-Zimmer Pressure Ulcer Foot replica is designed with pressure ulcers depicted on the most likely places for this sort of injury to appear. This includes pressure points like the heels, toes, and other areas where bones may protrude and rub against socks, shoes, or bed sheets. The model depicts ulcers in all four severity stages.

On this model you can observe:

• Stage 1 Injury: located on the bottom of the toe, where the surface of the skin is red.
• Stage 2 Injury: located just under the toe on the bottom of the foot. Here the skin's surface and some deeper layers are red.
• Stage 3 Injury: located on the side of the foot, and showing a more crater-like injury that reaches the bottom layer of skin.
