Stages of Wound Healing

There are 4 phases of wound healing:

1. Hemostasis: Clotting sequence is activated, vasoconstriction, thrombin --> fibrinogen --> fibrin. 
2. Inflammation: During this phase debris and bacteria are phagocytosed. Neutrophils then Monocyctes and Macrophages(approx 4 days after injury)  then
3. Proliferation: Angiogensis, Collogen deposition, granulation tissue formation, epithelialization and wound contraction. 
4. Remodeling: Occurs for about a year. Scar tissue regains about 2/3 or original strength but is never as strong.
