Fig. 2From: Evaluating polymeric biomaterials to improve next generation wound dressing designPhases of wound healing. Depiction of the phases of wound healing and comparison of acute versus chronic healing. A Progression through the physiological phases starting with uninjured skin progressing to remodeling and formation of a scab. Includes a time scale to compare temporality. B Depiction of recently injured wound in hemostatic phase of healing progressing to proper healing and scab formation. C Depiction of chronic wound not properly progressing from hemostatic phase through healing and scab formation resulting in ulcer formation and an open wound.
