Infection
The invasion and multiplication of
microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and
parasites that are not normally present within
the body
Immune Response
Physical barrier
Chemical barrier,
secretes oil and
sweat (lower Ph
skin), tears
(contain enzyme
called lysozyme)
and saliva
Sheds constantly
(1 million cells per
hour)

Granulation Process
Body is working to
repair the damaged
skin area. Cells divide
to fix injured tissues
and blood vessels
aswound begins to
close.
Lasts from a few days
to a few weeks.
Primaryintention
healing
Wound healing by primary
intention is typical for
noncomplicated surgical
wounds.
Wound edges are approximated
and kept together with sutures
or staples and healing occurs
by wound epithelialisation and
connective tissue deposition.
These wounds usually heal
quickly provided there is no
infection.
Secondaryintention healing
Typical for chronic wounds such as
venous leg ulcers. The wound is
left open and healing occurs by
granulation tissue formation,
contraction of the wound edges
and subsequently epithelialisation.
These wounds show delayed
healing due to the volume of
connective tissue required to fill
the defect. Since there is no
epidermal barrier, the risk of an
infection is significantly higher in
these wounds.
