2. Wound
A wound is an injury, especially one in
which the skin or another external
surface is torn, pierced, cut, or
otherwise broken.
3. Wound types
1- open
Incisions or incised wounds, caused by a clean,
sharp-edged object such as a knife, a razor or a
glass splinter.
Lacerations, irregular tear-like wounds caused by
some blunt trauma.
4. Abrasions (grazes), superficial wounds in which the
topmost layer of the skin (the epidermis) is scraped off.
Puncture wounds, caused by an object puncturing the
skin, such as a nail or needle.
Penetration wounds, caused by an object such as a knife
entering and coming out from the skin .
Gunshot wounds, caused by a bullet or similar projectile
driving into or through the body
5. 2-Closed
Contusions, more commonly known as bruises,
caused by a blunt force trauma that damages
tissue under the skin.
Hematomas, also called a blood tumor, caused
by damage to a blood vessel that in turn causes
blood to collect under the skin.
Crush injury, caused by a great or extreme
amount of force applied over a long period of
time.
9. Secondary closure
No active intent to seal the wound
The wound is closed by reepithelization and
contraction with some deposition of scar tissue
11. Delayed primary closure
Tertiary intention
Surgical intervention, such as suturing, skin graft
replacement, or flap design, after repeated
debridement and antibiotics therapy
14. Phases of Wound Healing
A. Inflammatory or reactive phase
Events
1. Increase vascular permeability
2.Chemotaxis
3.Secretion of cytokines
4.Growth factor
15. Phases of Wound Healing
B. Proliferative phase
Goal: granulation tissue formation
Events:
1. Angiogenesis
2.Fibroplasia
3.Epithelization
16. Phases of Wound Healing
C. Maturation phase
Goal: scar contraction with collagen cross-
linking, shrinking and loss of edema
Events:
1. Scarring
2.Contraction
3.Remodeling of scar
