| Phase | Time Period | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Inflammatory Phase | 0-3 days | Haemostasis and inflammation |
| Reconstructive Phase | 2-24 days | Destructive phase – phagocytic debridement Proliferative phase - granulation, angiogenesis and epithelialisation |
| Maturation / Remodelling Phase | 24 days to 1 year | Wound maturation |
| Wound Healing Method | |
|---|---|
| Primary Intention | Most common, with the quickest healing time Wound heals with wound edges approximated, preferably within 6/24 |
| Delayed Primary Intention | Wound left open and heals from bottom up, and edges in Good for high risk infection, but slow healing and larger scar |
| Secondary Intention | Wound left open and heals from bottom up, and edges in Good for high risk infection, but slow healing and larger scar |
| Skin Graft / Flap | Where large amount of skin missing |
