An experimental model was designed to produce pressure sores over the greater femoral trochanter of mormal swines. The pressure was applied under continuous monitor throughout the experiment and kept be-tween 500 to 800 mmHg for 3 to 6.5 hours. Examination of the pressure site at 5 to 7 interval revealed severe muscle damage and intact overlying skin post 600mmHg for more than 5 hours. The interface and underlying tissue pressures were detected at the same time to reveal the pressure transmission. Only 60-70% of output pressure was preserved over interface, and 35-50% was transferred into the underlying tissue, which still was larger than 100 mmHg.
