2nd Phase
Fill in the wound defect with new tissue and restore the integrity of the skin
Proliferative Phase
Inflammatory Phase
Resurfacing of the wound and changes in the wound edges
Epithelialization Phase
Remodeling Phase
Scar tissue is rebuilt and the tensile strength increase to 15 to 20% strength associated with the initial scar tissue to as much as 80% of the pre-injury tissues by the end of the remodeling phase
Changes in the color of the surrounding skin, changes in the temperature (heat), changes in the turgor (swelling), changes in the sensation (pain), changes in the function (reduced function)
