Remodeling is the final stage of wound healing. During this period, the newly laid collagen fibers and fibroblasts reorganize along lines of tension. Fibers in a nonfunctional orientation are replaced by functional fibers. This process allows wound strength to increase slowly over a long period (as long as 2 yr).
The Causes of Wounds Healing Slowly. All wounds heal in three stages. First, the wound becomes inflamed as an immune response to prevent infections. Second, new cellsâbetter known as a scabâform over the wound. And finally scar tissue forms, healing the wound. While cuts with even edges tend to heal quicker and better than cuts than rough edges, disease and nutritional deficits can cause the healing process to slow in both types of wounds.
