Wound Healing:

Phase

Name

Timing

Predominate Cell

Events

1

Inflammation

0-72hours (3 days)

Platelets

Neutrophils

Macrophages

hemostasis, epithelialization, angiogenesis

2

Proliferation

3 days - 3 weeks

fibroblasts

wound contraction by myofibroblasts occurs

3

Maturation

3 weeks - 2 years

Type 3 collagen replaced by Type I collagen

collagen deposition maximal at 21days, but wound only 15% tensile strength, at 6 weeks reaches 80-90% tensile strength
