Core Tip	This case report describes the successful management of severe (stage IV) pressure ulcers in a high-risk, non-surgical 90-year-old patient using a novel aloe-derived micellar emulsion dressing combined with red light therapy and nutritional support. The aloe-derived micellar emulsion dressing, containing the bioactive component acemannan, was associated with significant wound healing, including complete closure of one ulcer and a marked reduction in another. This multimodal, non-invasive approach is a promising and cost-effective palliative strategy for managing complex wounds in frail, elderly patients for whom surgical options are contraindicated.
