- Inflammatory stage - beginning stage, also usually suggests infection
- Begins with the injury and lasts 3 to 6 days

Macrophages engulf microorganisms and cellular debris
(phagocytosis).
- Proliferative stage
- Lasts the next 3 to 24 days
- Effects to the wound: replacing lost tissue with connective or
granulated tissue or collagen. Contracting the wound’s edges.
Resurfacing of new epithelial cells. Healthy granulation tissue
does not bleed easily. Dark granulation tissue can be a sign of
infection, ischemia, or poor perfusion. In the final phase of the
proliferative stage of wound healing, epithelial cells resurface
the injury.
- Maturation or remodelling stage
- Occurs after day 21 and involves the strengthening of the
collagen scar and restoration of a more normal appearance. It
can take more than 1 year to complete, depending on the
extent of the original wound. When scar tissues are forming.
- Appearance:
