Wound

A wound is a disruption in the anatomical integrity and physiological function of the skin, mucous membranes, or underlying soft tissues Pathophysiologically, their resolution involves a coordinated, dynamic reparative cascade encompassing hemostasis, acute inflammation, cellular proliferation with granulation tissue formation and angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling

A wound is a disruption in the anatomical integrity and physiological function of the skin, mucous membranes, or underlying soft tissues Primarily affecting the integumentary system, wounds can occur in any population and arise from mechanical trauma, thermal or chemical injury, surgical intervention, or chronic underlying systemic conditions such as venous insufficiency, arterial disease, neuropathy, or diabetes

Primarily affecting the integumentary system, wounds can occur in any population and arise from mechanical trauma, thermal or chemical injury, surgical intervention, or chronic underlying systemic conditions such as venous insufficiency, arterial disease, neuropathy, or diabetes Clinically, wounds are characterized by a break in the epithelial barrier, often presenting with pain, hemorrhage, edema, and loss of local structural protection
