In this study we would like to find a way to prevent sacral pressure ulcers in high-risk patients by the use of a Mepilex sacral dressing. The research question we would like to answer is the following: Is the Mepilex sacral dressing a cost-effective dressing for the prevention of grade I to grade IV pressure ulcers in the sacral region in higher-risk hospitalized patients?
