GlossarySkin Injury (Laceration)

damage to the skin's surface causing a break in integrity

A skin injury, also known as a skin wound, cut, laceration, abrasion, or dermal injury, refers to any damage that breaks the integrity of the skin. This can range from minor scrapes and cuts to more severe lacerations and punctures. Skin injuries can result from various causes, including trauma, surgery, or accidents, and they often require proper cleaning and care to prevent infection and promote healing.
