Research recommendations coming out of this guidance Debridement:- What is the effect of enzymatic debridement of non-viable tissue compared with sharp debridement on the rate of healing of pressure ulcers in adults? Negative pressure wound therapy:- Does negative pressure wound therapy (with appropriate dressing) improve the healing of pressure ulcers, compared with the use of dressing alone in adults with pressure ulcers? Risk assessment in neonates, infants, children and young people:- Which pressure ulcer tools are most effective for predicting pressure ulcer risk in children? Pressure redistributing devices: Dopressure redistributing devices reduce the development of pressure ulcers for those who are at risk of developing a pressure ulcer? Repositioning:- When repositioning a person who is at risk of developing a pressure ulcer, what is the most effective position – and optimum frequency of repositioning – to prevent a pressure ulcer developing?
