wound edges are well approximated?

Closure Right Away (Primary Intention) 1﻿ Wounds that fit neatly together are referred to as “well approximated.” This is when the edges of a wound fit neatly together, such as a surgical incision, and can close easily.

A minor wound like a cut will usually heal to leave a red, raised line, which will gradually get paler and flatter over time. This process can take up to two years. The scar won't disappear completely and you'll be left with a visible mark or line.

Paper also makes a more shallow wound than most other cutting injuries. A shallow cut on the surface might only bleed a little, or not at all. Without a blood clot to protect them, the nerves around the cut are exposed to air and other irritants, which can make the pain more noticeable and longer lasting.

As a rule, the idea is to keep mud and dirt out of a wound. Whatever possible positive results (slowing bleeding) is more than outweighed by the almost certain infection and possibly even the introduction of bacteria and other small animal life into your wound. There are 2 cases when it's a good idea.

Conclusions The occlusive, moist-environment dressing principle in the clinical surgical setting does not lead to quicker wound healing or less pain than gauze dressings. The lower costs of less frequent dressing changes do not balance the higher costs of occlusive materials.

You might see clear fluid in or around the wound. This means white blood cells are at work defending and rebuilding.

The contraction of, or formation of abnormal notchings around, the edges of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis, especially noticeable in red blood cells. (botany) A rounded tooth on the edge of a leaf.

In general, wounds can be either open or closed. In open wounds, the skin is broken and the underlying tissue is exposed to the outside environment. In closed wounds, the skin is intact and the underlying tissue is not directly exposed to the outside world.

After about five days into the wound healing process, the tissue re-growth stage begins. It typically lasts around three weeks for minor wounds, and it's the time when the body repairs broken blood vessels and replaces damaged tissues with healthy new ones.

An intermediate repair is used for wounds/lacerations/excisions where more of the deeper layers of subcutaneous tissue and non-muscle fascia are repaired (in addition to skin and subcutaneous tissue). This is a two-layered closure. A complex repair requires more than a layered closure.

Puncture wounds tend to be smaller than cuts and usually do not heal better or scar less when stitched. Puncture wounds tend to be deeper, narrower, and harder to clean than cuts. Sealing bacteria into a wound when it is stitched increases the risk of infection.

When new sections are to be added, the edge distance measured from the center of the rivet should never be less than 2 times the diameter of the shank; the distance between rivets or pitch should be at least 3 times the diameter; and the distance between rivet rows should never be less than 21⁄2 times the diameter.
