Laceration
A laceration is a tear or cut in the skin caused by blunt or sharp trauma. The wound often has irregular, jagged edges and can vary in depth, sometimes extending into deeper tissues such as fat, muscle, or tendon. Lacerations may bleed significantly and can become contaminated with dirt or debris depending on the cause. Proper treatment includes cleaning, controlling bleeding, and closing the wound if necessary to promote healing and prevent infection. Tetanus vaccination may also be updated as part of wound care.
