GlossaryCutaneous Wound Healing

process of skin repairing itself after injury

Cutaneous wound healing, also known as skin wound healing, is the process by which the skin repairs itself after injury. This complex process involves several stages: hemostasis (stopping the bleeding), inflammation (cleaning out the wound), proliferation (tissue formation), and remodeling (strengthening the new tissue). Understanding these stages is crucial for both medical professionals and patients to ensure proper wound care and recovery.
