A wound<\/strong><\/span> is a disruption<\/span> in the natural tissue structure<\/strong><\/span>.

In these cases, the skin remains intact<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Most wounds are caused by force<\/strong><\/span> inflicted upon the body from outside. The accompanying pressure and shear force can cause a range of wounds in the different tissues, depending on the tissue elasticity<\/span>. In addition to these mechanical causes<\/span>, chemical substances<\/span> and thermal influences<\/span> can also be responsible for wounds.<\/span><\/p>\n Although wounds can vary greatly in shape<\/strong><\/span>, size<\/strong><\/span> and cause<\/strong><\/span>; they always share the following characteristics – pain<\/strong><\/span>, bleeding<\/strong><\/span> and lymph secretion<\/strong><\/span> and, for external wounds – separation<\/strong><\/span> of the wound edges.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A wound is a disruption in the natural tissue structure.
