Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Given that pressure ulcers impact on an individual's quality of life, and generate high costs to the overall health care system, further work is needed to explore alternative means of pressure ulcer treatment.
