Epithelialisation Evidence

 

Epithelial Tissue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partial-thickness wounds heal mainly by epithelialisation.

Full-thickness wounds heal mainly by contraction, filling with granulation tissue, and epithelial migration from the wound edges.

Epithelial tissue is "pink" in colour.

Treatment Aim

* Promote a moist wound environment
* Manage Exudate
* Protect the wound surface
