But anyone who has cared for a bedridden loved one knows that this little mark can be the first sign of one of the most stubborn problems in home care: a pressure injury.

In home care, dressings that remain securely in place and require less frequent attention can help simplify daily care routines, reducing some of the practical burden on caregivers.
