A picture of your wound, Daily, sent to your attending MD and wound specialist. This way they have a daily view of what they are up against. A metric ruler is also a great guide tool.

Can you put a special pillow between your thighs to keep it open for catheter as you lay on your side? i bought a large pregnancy pillow to help keeping me on my side. derrick w On 12/15/2016 2:13 PM, Nichole Rohling wrote: I’ve been paralyzed 18 ½ years and have had 1 pressure sore at the top of my butt crack a few years after my injury. One of my caregivers noticed last night I am getting another one. I am pretty sure it’s from laying on my back in bed. I prop my feet up and my pillow top has a deep indention where my butt is. I do have a air bed on top of the mattress. I can’t lay on my side because my catheter doesn’t drain. Suggestions please on how you would relieve pressure on this area. Home health nurse left me aquacell to put on it but they are 6 x 6 ……..she said just cut them but that leaves 2 edges that aren’t sealed and I thought you weren’t suppose to put that directly on an open sore?
