Pat Pressure Injury Staging Model

A unique, compact, and realistic teaching tool for pressure injury education

The Pat Pressure Injury Staging Model™ provides a comprehensive, hands-on way to identify and understand various stages of pressure injuries, following the NPUAP 2016 (National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel) guidelines. Unlike traditional photographs or videos, this 3D model brings wound care to life with incredible realism.

Features and Included Pressure Injuries

• Stage 1: Presented on both lightly and darkly pigmented skin

• Stage 2: Depicts partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis, often appearing as a shallow open ulcer or intact/ruptured blister.

• Stage 3: Includes undermining, tunneling, and slough

• Stage 4: A shallow wound over the malleolus, showing exposed bone and tendon

• Unstageable wound: Features eschar/slough

• Deep Tissue Pressure Injury (DTPI): Includes a “mushy/boggy” feel upon palpation, which is especially valuable for identifying injuries on darkly pigmented skin

Educational Value

• Demonstrates how different skin tones can affect the visual presentation of Stage 1 injuries, blood blisters, and DTPIs

• Hand-painted wounds ensure realistic and medically accurate representation

• Supports understanding of wound etiology, promoting accurate staging and treatment planning

• Enables routine care training such as cleansing and dressing changes

• Aids in competency testing, skills assessment, and application of dressing techniques

Ideal For

• Healthcare providers, educators, patients, families, and caregivers

• Training those with low literacy, using visual aids to convey essential health care information

• Teaching accurate pressure injury assessment—critical for avoiding misdiagnosis, reimbursement issues, and adverse reporting outcomes

Optional Carry Case Available (Item #0981)

This model is an essential tool for anyone involved in wound care, pressure injury prevention, or medical training. Perfect for classrooms, clinical settings, or in-home education.
