Abstract
The healing of full-thickness skin wounds measuring 1.2 cm2 was studied in mink and sable. In both species of animals the skin defect closed mainly through contraction of the wound. Hairs and sebaceous glands were found in the small area of regenerating skin formed in the center of the primary defect. It is postulated that these hairs developed from bulbs of “old” hairs which migrated into the regenerating zone together with the lower layers of the dermis adjacent to the wound.
