Pressure Injuries Stage 1 (early tissue damage) Skin looks red or pink No open wound Nonblanchable (when you press it with your finger, it doesn't turn white) On darkly pigmented skin blanching may not be visible
Pressure Injuries Stage 2 Partial thickness skin loss involving the epidermis and dermis DOES NOT go into subcutaneous layer No slough
Pressure Injuries Stage 3 Full thickness loss of skin that extends to the subcutaneous tissue DOES NOT go through the fascia (the layer covering muscle, tendon, or bone) and may have slough (yellow tissue)
Pressure Injuries Stage 4 Full thickness skin loss extending through fascia with tissue loss Possible involvement of the muscle, bone, tendon, or joint May have slough or black dead tissue Tunneling may be present
Unstageable (not clear what stage it is) The base wound is covered by a layer of dead tissue that may be yellow, grey, green, brown, or black Not clear what stage it is because the wound bed is completely covered by slough Eschar ~ type of dead tissue
