Glossary Wounds

disruptions in skin and tissue structure and function

Wounds, also known as injuries or lesions, are disruptions in the normal structure and function of the skin and underlying tissues. They can result from various causes, including cuts, lacerations, abrasions, and tears, and may lead to bleeding, pain, and potential infection. Proper wound care is essential to promote healing and prevent complications.
