You cannot stage this wound d/t the necrotic tissues.  It is impossible to see the wound bed until it has been debrided.

This is unstageable due to eschar covering the wound bed. It would need debridement before staging.

  This would is considered unstageable.  The black necrotic tissue covering the would prevents being able to see inside the would and how deep it is.

Unstagable. True extent of wound is unknown.  Appears dry with rolled edge--needs debriding.

Unstageable due to the black eschar, the base of the wound is not visible.

Everyone is correct.  This wound is unstageable due to the presence of necrotic tissue.  Nice work!
