  2. Granulation tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue

    Granulation tissue is composed of tissue matrix supporting a variety of cell types, [3] most of which can be associated with one of the following functions: formation of extracellular matrix; operation of the immune system; vascularisation; An excess of granulation tissue (caro luxurians) is informally referred to as hypergranulation or "proud ...

  3. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  4. Wound bed preparation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_bed_preparation

    Since the year 2000, the wound bed preparation concept has continued to improve. For example, the TIME acronym (Tissue management, Inflammation and infection control, Moisture balance, Epithelial (edge) advancement) has supported the transition of basic science to the bedside in order to exploit appropriate wound healing interventions [6] and has not deviated from the important tenets of ...

  5. Granulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation

    Granulation is extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry, for manufacturing of tablets and pellets. This way predictable and repeatable process is possible and granules of consistent quality can be produced. Granulation is carried out for various reasons, one of which is to prevent the segregation of the constituents of powder mix ...

  6. Negative-pressure wound therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-pressure_wound...

    The dressings used for the technique include foam dressings, sealed with an occlusive dressing intended to contain the vacuum at the wound site. [1] Where NPWT devices allow delivery of fluids, such as saline or antibiotics to irrigate the wound, intermittent removal of used fluid supports the cleaning and drainage of the wound bed. [6]

  7. Wound assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_assessment

    Wound bed, wound edge and periwound skin should be examined before the initial treatment plan is devised. It should also be re-assessed at each visit or each dressing change. For wound bed, the following parameters are assessed: Tissue type; presence and percentage of non-viable tissue covering the wound bed; Level of exudate; Presence of infection

  8. Wound healing assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing_assay

    Scratch wound healing assay experiment of rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer cell line. A wound healing assay is a laboratory technique used to study cell migration and cell–cell interaction. This is also called a scratch assay because it is done by making a scratch on a cell monolayer and capturing images at regular intervals by time lapse ...

  9. Periwound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periwound

    The periwound (also peri-wound) is tissue surrounding a wound. Periwound area is traditionally limited to 4 cm outside the wound's edge but can extend beyond this limit if outward damage to the skin is present. Periwound assessment is an important step of wound assessment before wound treatment is prescribed. [1]
