Full-thickness tissue loss, subcutaneous fat is sometimes visible,but bone,tendon, and muscle are not exposed
Stage 4 pressure injury
Full-thickness Tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, cartridge,or muscle.
Unstageable/unclassified Pressure injury
Injury involves for thickness tissue loss, a wound base covered by sloughe (Yellow, tan, gray, green, or brown)
The true depth and stage of the injury cannot be determined until the base of the wound has been exposed
