Wound healing is a complex process that involves the body's natural ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissue. It can be divided into four overlapping stages, including hemostasis (stoppage of bleeding), inflammation, proliferation (formation of new tissue) and remodeling (shaping of the newly formed tissue). During this process, the body works to clean the wound, remove debris, and initiate the healing response. It involves various cells such as fibroblasts, macrophages, endothelial cells, mast cells, neutrophils, and platelets that work together to repair damaged tissue and close the wound. The speed of wound healing can vary depending on factors like age, overall health, and the severity of the injury. Proper care and management of the wound during each stage can help promote faster and more effective healing.
