injury; usually caused by a blow, that does not disrupt skin integrity. Characterized
Contusion by pain, edema, discoloration which appears as a result of blood seepage under
the surface of the skin
the separation, rupture, or splitting of a wound closed by primary intention. May
Dehiscence
be superficial or involve all layers of tissue.
Desiccated drying out or dehydration of wound; often a result of poor dressing selection
peeling or shedding of the outer layers of the epidermis; occurs in small scales
Desquamation
but may be in larger sheets extending to deeper layers of skin
discoloration occurring below intact skin resulting from trauma to underlying
Ecchymosis blood vessels seeping into tissues; discoloration is blue-black, changing to
greenish brown or yellow
diffuse redness of skin resulting from capillary dilation and congestion or
Erythema
inflammation
tissue that readily tears, fragments, or bleeds when gently palpated or
Friable
manipulated
a localized swelling or mass of clotted blood confined to a tissue, organ or space
Hematoma
usually caused by a break in blood vessel
increased thickness of the granular layer of the epidermis that exceeds the
Hypergranulation
surface height of the skin

abnormal scar resulting from excessive collagen formation during healing;
Hypertrophic scar
typically raised, red, and firm with disorganized collagen fibers
abnormal scar formation that is out of proportion to the scarring required for
Keloid normal tissue repair and is comprised of irregularly distributed collagen bands;
exceeds boundaries of original wound, red, thick, raised, and firm
the skin softening and degeneration that results from prolonged exposure to
Maceration
water or other fluids
scar characterized by the organized formation of collagen fibers that align in a
Normotrophic scar
parallel fashion
relative speed with which the skin resumes its normal appearance after
Turgor being lightly pinched; indicator of skin elasticity and hydration and is slower
in older adults
a type of necrotic tissue that refers to the death and decay of tissue resulting from
Gangrene an interruption in blood flow to an extremity; bacterial infection may or may not
be present
also referred to as a callous, a type of necrotic tissue that is typically white/gray
Hyperkeratosis in color and can vary in texture from firm to soggy depending on the moisture
level in surrounding tissue
moist, stringy, or mucinous, white/yellow tissue that tends to be loosely
Slough attached in clumps to the wound bed; byproduct of enzymatic degradation
of necrotic tissue
hard, leathery, black/brown dehydrated tissue that tends to be firmly adhered to
Eschar
the wound bed
Undermining wound erosion underneath intact skin at the wound perimeter
Sinus single linear channel in subcutaneous tissue, extending past the visible wound bed
Tunnel lineal channel connecting two wounds
Osteitis inflammation of superficial tissue of bone
osteomyelitis inflammation of bone and bone marrow, usually due to infection
Demarcation the line between viable and nonviable tissue
biofim a thin, slimy form of bacteria that adheres to a surface
Excoriation the loss of the epidermis from moisture and friction
presence of non-replicating bacteria on the wound surface without any effect
Contamination
upon the wound healing process
presence of replicating bacteria attached to the wound surface with no harm to
Colonization
the host and no effect on the wound healing process
presence of replicating bacteria on the wound surface with sufficient numbers to
Critical colonization
visibly affect the wound healing process
presence of replicating bacteria that have invaded the surrounding tissue with
Infection
visible effects in the wound healing process and in the periwound tissues
presence of replicating bacteria that produces a whole body inflammatory state
Sepsis
termed systemic inflammatory response syndrome
circumscribed, flat, nonpalpable lesion that is flushed with the level of
Macule
surrounding normal skin; smaller than 10mm in diameter
a flat nonpalpable lesion that is flush with the level of surrounding normal skin;
Patch
greater than 10mm in diameter
a superficial, circumscribed dome-shaped or flat topped palpable lesion elevated
Papule
above the skin surface; less than 10mm in diameter
