Three Dimensional Modelling of Wound Contraction

INTRODUCTION Skin is the largest human organ, covers all the external surface of the body, keeps the integrity of organs and avoids the transmission of infections and dehydration [1]. It is an elastic tissue that can support stresses under some limits. It is equally important its self-repairing capacity as a response to damage, with a perfect healing in most cases. Wounds can appear in the skin as a result of injury or surgery. Wound healing is a natural process where tissues are regenerated and several phenomena appear overlapped in time and which can be separated in four stages: inflammatory, proliferative, contraction and remodeling.
