Phases of Wound Healing

The entire wound healing process is a complex series of events that begins at the moment of injury and can continue for months to years. This overview will help in identifying the various stages of wound healing.
I. Inflammatory Phase
A) Immediate to 2-5 days
B) Homeostasis

Vasoconstriction
Platelet aggregation
Thromboplastin makes clot
C) Inflammation
Vasodilation
Phagocytosis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Proliferative Phase
A) 2 days to 3 weeks
B) Granulation

Fibroblasts lay bed of collagen
Fills defect and produces new capillaries
C) Contraction
Wound edges pull together to reduce defect
D) Epithelialization
Crosses moist surface
Cell travel about 3 cm from point of origin in all directions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Remodeling Phase
A) 3 weeks to 2 years
B) New collagen forms which increases tensile strength to wounds

C) Scar tissue is only 80 percent as strong as original tissue
