infection
Example:

Laceration
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Contaminated Traumatic
Wound
Complicated wound caused by
a dirty object
May need debridement and
has a high potential for
becoming infected
Examples:

Crush Type Injury

Foreign Body
Implantation
Wound Types & Wound Healing
A SINGLE WOUND MAY BE CLASSIFIED IN MORE
THAN ONE CATEGORY
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Chronic Wound - Wound that
fails to heal over an
extended period of time
Examples:
 Decubitus ulcer (Pressure
sore)
 Wound caused by
inadequate circulation or in
which healing is delayed as
a result of vascular
compromise
 Infected wounds
Wound Types & Wound Healing

Wound Types & Wound Healing
Types of Wound Healing

First Intention (Primary Union)

Second Intention (Granulation)

Third Intention (Delayed Primary Closure)
Wound Types & Wound Healing
First Intention (Primary
Closure)




Wound is sutured closed
Healing occurs from
side-to-side
Healing occurs rapidly
with little inflammation
and minimal scarring
Wound heals in three
phases
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phases of Wound Healing by First Intention



Phase I - Lag Phase or Inflammatory Response Phase
Phase II - Proliferation Phase
Phase III - Maturation or Differentiation Phase
Wound Types & Wound Healing



Phase I - Lag Phase or Inflammatory Response Phase
Begins within minutes of the injury and lasts 3-5 days
Inflammation is present (manifested by heat, redness,
swelling, pain, loss of function)
Inflammation is a result of increased blood flow to the
area caused by arterial dilation
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phase I (continued)





Bleeding controlled by platelet aggregation
Oxygenated blood delivered to the site
Epithelial cells for repair formed
Scab formed
Phagocytosis occurs
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phase I (continued)

Basal cells seal wound
surface

Fibroblasts begin
reconstruction of
nonepithelial tissue
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phase II - Proliferation Phase



Begins about the 3rd postoperative day and continues up
to 20 days
Fibroblasts multiply (proliferate) and bridge wound edges
Collagen secreted from fibroblasts
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phase II (continued)

Collagen fibers begin to
restore tensile strength
of tissue

Capillary networks
established and
lymphatic networks
reformed
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phase II (continued)
Definition:
Tensile Strength: Ability to resist rupture

During the proliferation phase (phase II) of wound healing
by first intention the wound regains 25%-30% of its
original tensile strength
Wound Types & Wound Healing


Phase III - Maturation or Differentiation Phase
Begins on the 14th postoperative day and lasts until the
wound is completely healed, (may take up to 12 months)
Tensile strength increased by interweaving of collagen
fibers
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Phase III (continued)

Collagen density
increases and
formation of new
blood vessels
decreases

Cicatrix is formed
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Second Intention
(Granulation)




Wound is intentionally
left open
Healing occurs from the
bottom - up
High risk of infection (if
not already present)
Union is weak and scar
formation extensive
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Second Intention (Granulation) (continued)



Granulation tissue containing myofibroblasts forms in the
wound
Gaps in tissue fill from bottom upward closing the wound
by contraction
Epithelial growth is secondary
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Third Intention (Delayed
Primary Closure)
Two granulated surfaces are
approximated
 Wound is left open to heal
by second intention for 4-6
days
 Then, wound is closed
Equation 2+1=3
(Second Intention plus First
Intention equals Third
Intention)
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
Three main factors influence wound healing:



Physical condition of the patient
Intraoperative tissue handling
Application of the principles of asepsis
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Physical Condition
of the Patient

Age

Smoking

Nutritional Status

Radiation Exposure

Disease (Chronic or
Acute)





Length and direction of
the incision

(sharp or blunt)
Length of surgery
Tissue Handling





Hemostasis
Minimal and gentle tissue
handling
Precise tissue
approximation
Elimination of dead space
Secure wound closure
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Halsted's Methods of Tissue Handling

Strict aseptic technique

Gentle handling of tissue

Use of the finest suture material

Small stitches and low tension on the tissue

Complete closure of wounds whenever possible
Wound Types & Wound Healing
These basic procedures
had a far-reaching
effect on the practice
of surgery, making it
safer and more
effective than it had
been previously.
William S. Halsted
Wound Types & Wound Healing

Dead Space
Dead space is a separation of wound edges, which have
not been closely approximated or air that has become
trapped between tissue layers. This space may allow for
serum or blood to collect and provide a medium for
microbial growth that may result in infection.
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Dead Space
Reduce or eliminate
dead space with the
use of:



Proper suturing
techniques
Wound drains
Pressure dressings
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Application of the Principles of Asepsis Through the Use of
Sterile Technique
 A sterile field is created for each surgical procedure
 Sterile team members must be appropriately attired prior
to entering the sterile field
 Movement in and around the sterile field must not
compromise the sterile field

Knot Tying Basics




Knot Security
Knot Tying Principles
Square Knot (Two Hand
Technique)
Surgeon’s Knot
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Knot Security
Knot security is of utmost importance in preventing wound
complications

Use the most simple; secure knot possible
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Knot Tying Principles



Knot must be firm
Tie knot as small as possible and trim ends as close as
possible
When tying, avoid “sawing” motion or excessive tension,
which may damage the integrity of the suture
Wound Types & Wound Healing
Two Simple Knots
(Over 1,000 types of knots available)

Square Knot - Easiest and most reliable

Surgeon’s Knot - Provides extra security
Wound Types & Wound Healing

NO GRANNIES!!!!
A Granny knot is a slip
knot and is NOT
acceptable as a surgical
knot!

wound
Tension evenly distributed
Suture Line
CONS
 Over tensioning can cause
suture failure leading to
wound disruption
 Can allow fluid to travel
along suture line - may
spread infection

Each suture strand is
placed individually
Individual suture
strands are tied and cut

Interrupted
PROS
Secure closure
Remaining sutures
should hold wound
edges together if one
