Where is the sacral area of the body?
The sacrum area of the body refers to the area just above what is commonly referred to as the "tailbone", this bony area is prone to pressure wounds. Anytime you have an area of the body with the underlying bones close to the surface of the skin you run the risk of developing a pressure sore in that area. Sacral dressings fit this area of the body better than standard square or rectangle dressings.

Available in two sizes, 7" x 7" and 9" x 9". Sold in a box of 5. Latex free. Waterproof outer layer.
