No it's not exactly the same but this is a marketing text and you need to adapt to the target. You can't put "risque de décomposition de la peau", it sounds terrible in French.

liz askew Jan 17, 2007:

I'm sticking to my guns here, as "skin breakdown" is not the same as "pressure sore".

liz askew Jan 17, 2007:

How about "décomposition [de la peau]" = skin breakdown

Dr Sue Levy (X) Jan 16, 2007:

Skin breakdown" corresponds to a Stage II decubitus ulcer. There's a ton of info on the net about this.

Dr Sue Levy (X) Jan 16, 2007:

Skin breakdown is part of the process of a decubitus ulcer. http://www.arabmedmag.com/issue-15-09-2005/dermatology/main0...

liz askew Jan 16, 2007:

"Breakdown" and "pressure ulcers" are two separate entities.
