Pressure-induced deep tissue damage

A localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, or purple discoloration, that may present with intact skin or as a blood-filled blister. The depth is not immediately clear and it can evolve into a full-thickness wound or develop eschar. It is diagnosed based on color changes and tissue consistency, not initially by depth as that is not immediately clear.
