This document provides information on wound classification, the phases of wound healing, and factors that affect wound healing. It discusses various types of wounds including incised wounds, lacerations, bruises, and puncture wounds. It describes the four main phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. Each phase is involved in restoring structure and function to the injured tissue. Chronic wounds may fail to progress through the normal phases due to issues like infection, poor blood supply, or metabolic problems. Careful wound care can help promote proper healing.
