Detailed explanation-1: -A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary wound healing usually occurs in the case of aseptic wounds or fresh injuries. The wound edges have smooth borders and are in close vicinity. Primary wound healing occurs e.g. after a surgical incision in which the edges of the wound are connected by a suture.
Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. A laceration is a wound that is produced by the tearing of soft body tissue. This type of wound is often irregular and jagged. A laceration wound is often contaminated with bacteria and debris from whatever object caused the cut.
Detailed explanation-4: -Primary wound closure is the fastest type of closure, and is also known as healing by primary intention. Wounds that heal by primary closure have a small, clean defect that minimizes the risk of infection and requires new blood vessels and keratinocytes to migrate only a small distance.
