    Wound Healing Phase 1: Hemostasis Phase

    Uploaded by

    Maria Leonora Paltao
    The wound healing process occurs in four phases: 1) Hemostasis stops bleeding and forms a clot. 2) The inflammatory phase destroys bacteria and removes debris over 4-6 days. 3) The proliferative phase fills the wound with new tissue over 4-24 days and the wound contracts. 4) During the maturation phase lasting 21 days to 2 years, the new tissue gains strength through collagen remodeling.

    Phase 3: Proliferative Phase

    Once the wound is cleaned out, the wound


    enters Phase 3, the Proliferative Phase,
    where the focus is to fill and cover the wound.

    The Proliferative phase features three distinct


    stages: 1) filling the wound; 2) contraction of
    the wound margins; and 3) covering the
    wound (epithelialization).
