During the Normal Wound Healing Process?

Cellular and molecular events during normal wound healing progress through four major, integrated, phases of haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling.

What is the normal wound healing process?

Wound healing, as a normal biological process in the human body, is achieved through four precisely and highly programmed phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. For a wound to heal successfully, all four phases must occur in the proper sequence and time frame.

What happens during the healing of a wound?

Red blood cells help create collagen, which are tough, white fibers that form the foundation for new tissue. The wound starts to fill in with new tissue, called granulation tissue. New skin begins to form over this tissue. As the wound heals, the edges pull inward and the wound gets smaller.
