Abstract
Wound healing requires an initial haemostatic phase, an inflammatory phase lasting from minutes to hours, the migration of resident cells (fibroblasts, epidermal cells and endothelial cells) within the following 24 h and a regenerative phase during the subsequent 3 days. During the latter phase, activated fibroblasts respond to the growth factors present and initially produce type III collagen[1]. Contemporaneously, angiogenesis begins with the organisation of the collagen fibres; at this point, type I collagen and the phagocytes that remove fibrin come into play [2].
