Abrasions
Arterial Wounds
Atypical Wounds
Atypical wounds are generally understood as wounds that cannot be defined under one of the primary non healing wound categories.
Burns
Cellulitis
Diabetic Wounds
Diabetic wounds are sores that occur in people who have diabetes. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the nerves and blood vessels, leading to wound healing problems. Diabetic wounds often don’t heal well and can become infected easily.
Gangrene or Tissue Death
Lacerations
Lacerations are wounds caused by a sharp object that results in jagged edges. Lacerations can occur anywhere on the body but are most common on the face, head, hands, and legs. They may be superficial, meaning they only involve the top layers of skin, or deep, meaning they extend into the underlying tissue, muscles, and bone.
Lymphedema
Non-healing Traumatic Wounds
Pressure Wounds
Pressure wounds are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue that occur when sustained pressure or friction damages the skin. Pressure wounds are also called pressure ulcers, bed sores, and decubitus ulcers.
Radiation Injury Wounds
Radiation injury wounds are those that are caused by exposure to radiation. This can happen either through accidental exposure (e.g., from an X-ray or CT scan) or deliberate exposure (e.g., from cancer treatment). Radiation injuries can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the type and severity of the exposure.
Skin Tears
Skin tears are a type of injury that can occur when the skin is stretched or sheared. This can happen if you fall or catch yourself on something sharp. Skin tears can be painful, and they can lead to infections.
Surgical Wound Dehiscence
Wound dehiscence is a surgical complication in which the wound opens along the suture line. This can occur when the wound is not closed correctly, or the tissues cannot heal properly. Dehiscence can lead to serious complications, such as infection and tissue loss.
Venous Wounds
Venous wounds are a type of wound that occurs when the veins in your body cannot circulate blood properly. This can cause the tissue around the wound to die, and the wound may not heal properly. Venous wounds are often slow to heal and may become infected easily.
Wounds Resulting from Autoimmune Disease
There are many autoimmune diseases, each with specific symptoms and treatment options. However, one common symptom of many autoimmune diseases is the formation of wounds. These wounds can be excruciating and may make it difficult for a person to perform everyday activities. In some cases, the wounds may even lead to serious infections.
Wounds of Unknown Etiology
Wounds of unknown etiology can be defined as any wound for which the cause is not known. These types of wounds can be difficult to treat because it can be difficult to determine what is causing them.
