For stroke survivors, limited movement often becomes part of daily life. But, immobility doesn’t come alone. It can lead to pressure ulcers, also called decubitus ulcers, especially in areas under constant pressure like the buttocks.

This was the case for a 70-year-old man who had a history of stroke and paralysis. Spending long hours lying down caused an open sore to develop in his buttocks area. The wound appeared red, moist, and at high risk of infection—prompting immediate and consistent care.

When a pressure ulcer first appears, the skin is already damaged. The area looks red and wet, with visible breakdown. At this stage, keeping the wound clean and reducing bacteria is crucial to prevent infection and protect healthy skin tissue.

From day 1, the patient began a simple care routine with wund+™ Wound Spray, applied regularly to gently clean the wound without scrubbing. This step alone made a huge difference, removing dirt effectively and maintaining a sterile environment for healing.

By day 12, the ulcer looked cleaner and less inflamed. By day 18, the wound showed clearer signs of tissue regeneration. Redness decreased, and the surface looked healthier and drier.

After 25 days, the results were clear—the wound had improved drastically. New, healthier tissue had formed, the risk of wound infection was greatly reduced, and the area looked clean and calm.

Dealing with pressure ulcers doesn’t need to be complicated. Regular cleaning, reducing pressure points, using pillows for support, keeping skin dry, and maintaining good nutrition (especially protein intake) all contribute to faster healing.

With consistent care and a gentle wound cleansing routine, patients with limited mobility—like stroke survivors—can recover faster and more safely. It’s not just about healing the skin, but also restoring dignity and comfort!
