| Inflammatory Phase "Lag Phase" |
|
Definition
Begins at time of injury or cell death, lasts 3 to 5 days
After 10 min, leakage of plasma and plasma proteins into the surrounding tissue occurs
Migration of WBCs into wound
Clinical manifestations of local edema, pain, erythema, and warmth |
|
|
Term
| Fibroblastic Phase "Connective Tissue Repair" |
|
Definition
Begins about the 4th day after injury and lasts 2 to 4 weeks
Fibrin strands form a scaffold or framework
Capillary buds and collagen deposits form granulation tissue in the wound and the wound contracts
Epithelial cells grow over the granulation tissue bed |
|
|
Term
| Maturation Phase "Remodeling" |
|
Definition
Begins as early as 3 weeks after injury and may continue for a year
Collagen is reorganized to provide greater tensile strength
Scar tissye gradually becomes thinner and paler in color
The mature scar is firm and inelastic when palpated |

Often includes undermining and tunneling
Sinus tracts may develop
Slough and eschar are often present on at lesast part of the wound |
