    GlossaryInflammatory Phase

    body's initial response to injury involving immune system activation

    The Inflammatory Phase is the initial stage of the wound healing process, where the body's immune system responds to injury. During this phase, which typically lasts a few days, white blood cells, growth factors, and nutrients are sent to the wound site to fight infection, remove debris, and prepare for tissue repair. This phase is crucial for preventing infection and setting the stage for subsequent healing phases.
