Injuries to tissues can bring about such alterations which, from tissue to tissue, or with temporary or permanent damage to organ function can cause anatomically related changes. It can interrupt tissue continuity — at the sides of the wound — or deficit of material, in which a part is ...
Granulation serves three important purposes in wound care. First, granulation acts as an extension of the immune system by offering a layer of protection between vulnerable tissues and pathogenic microbes. Second, granulation involves proliferation of new tissue needed to repair a wound. Finally, granu...
As greater understanding of the growth factors involved in wound healing emerges, future patient care may include scarless wound healing and transplant of tissues engineered from stem cell progenitors. [2] Next: Types of Wound Healing What to Read Next on Medscape Related Conditions and Diseases...

Cell therapy has emerged as a viable approach for treating damaged organs or tissues, particularly with advancements in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The innovative technique of cell sheet engineering offers the potential to create a cell
Justine has been a Registered Nurse for 10 years and has a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree. Cite this lesson External bleeding is when a wound allows blood to leave the body. Get to know the definition and concept of external bleeding, and explore the three external bleeding types....
However, it is a contentious field of science. Biomaterial science is a field that combines materials science and medicine. The replacement or restoration of damaged tissues or organs enhances the patient’s quality of life. The deciding aspect is whether or not the body will accept a ...
The debridement extends to the healthy soft tissues and bone at the edges of the wound. After the wound infection and blood glucose control were satisfied, the appropriate flap technique was selected for the corresponding repair. The flaps used in this study included anterolateral thigh perforator ...
During the healing process, the wound normally produces a fluid known asexudate. This is formed by dead soldier cells, a specific white blood cell, that are sent to fight against infection in the tissues. Types of Exudate Wound healing has various stages and conditions that can be indicated ...
A laceration is a cut or slice of tissue caused by a sharp object, fall, or blunt trauma. The open wound exposes the underlying soft tissues and can cause bleeding or damage to deeper structures. A lacerated wound most commonly occurs in the skin but lacerations also occur in muscle or ...
