The sacrum, sometimes called the sacral vertebra or sacral spine (S1), is a large, flat triangular shaped bone nested between the hip bones and positioned below the last lumbar vertebra (L5). The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, is below the sacrum.
Stage II pressure sores should be cleaned with a salt water (saline) rinse to remove loose, dead tissue. Or, your provider may recommend a specific cleanser. Do not use hydrogen peroxide or iodine cleansers. They can damage the skin.
At stage 2, the skin breaks open, wears away, or forms an ulcer, which is usually tender and painful. The sore expands into deeper layers of the skin. It can look like a scrape (abrasion), blister, or a shallow crater in the skin. Sometimes this stage looks like a blister filled with clear fluid.
Stage 3 pressure ulcers involve full-thickness skin loss potentially extending into the subcutaneous tissue layer. Stage 4 pressure ulcers extend even deeper, exposing underlying muscle, tendon, cartilage or bone.
The sacral spine (sacrum) is located below the lumbar spine and above the tailbone, which is known as the coccyx. Five bones that are fused together make up the triangle-shaped sacrum, and these bones are numbered S-1 to S-5.
