Q: I have bed sores, which are big in size. What is the expense for repair by plastic surgery? Also, what is the cost of ripple bed or ripple mattress?
A:Surgical cover of even very big bed sores is perfectly successful. Use of various kinds of mattresses is only an adjunct to surgical and nursing care. They cost anything between Rs. 20,000 to 40,000.
