Different Kinds Of Wounds And How They Need To Be Addressed

Here is a detailed guide to the different kinds of wounds.

Acute And Chronic Wounds

Wounds can be acute or chronic, depending on how the body reacts to its healing process. Acute wounds heal as predicted and expected by the doctor . In contrast, the healing of chronic wounds cannot be predicted as the process is disrupted due to underlying factors such as infections, diabetes, trauma and more.

Open Wounds

The term ‘open wound’ refers to when there is a tear or break in the external or internal tissue of the skin because of an injury. An open wound can be minor or major. Minor injuries do not require special medical aid and will resolve by themselves at home.

Abrasion:

The term ‘abrasion’ in the context of wounds refers to a wound that occurs when the skin rubs against a rough surface. Generally, the outer layer of the skin is damaged in this case. The likelihood of heavy bleeding is low, although medical aid is necessary.

Puncture:

The term ‘puncture’ in the context of wounds refers to a wound that is caused when the skin comes under attack from a pointed object. The injury, in this case, is mostly deep. This means the likelihood of damage to internal organs is high in this case. It can also cause infection in the affected area.

Laceration:

The term ‘laceration’ in the context of wounds refers to a wound that occurs due to a deep cut in the skin from objects such as tools or machinery. In this case, the extent of the injury is high, leading to quicker and higher blood loss compared to abrasions.

Avulsion:

The term ‘avulsion’ in the context of wounds refers to a wound that is caused by a severely traumatic incident. This leads to the partial or complete tearing away of the skin layer. The bleeding rate and blood loss are quite high in this case and require immediate medical attention.

Incision:

The term ‘incision’ in the context of wounds refers to a wound or opening made by a surgeon during a surgical procedure. The size and complexity of an incision depend on the kind of medical procedure you went through. Incisions are generally managed by the doctor in question to avoid infections or other complications.

Closed Wounds:

The term ‘closed wound’ refers to when the outer layer of the skin shows no damage from the injury. However, the internal tissue or organs are affected. Often caused by blunt trauma incidents such as car accidents, there can be a minor or major impact on the bones, muscles or organs underlying the area in question.
