Understanding Wounds

The video tutorial explains different types of wounds, their causes, and characteristics. It begins with a general overview of wounds, highlighting that they can result from various causes, often requiring medical attention based on severity. The tutorial then categorizes wounds into incised, contused, and puncture types. Incised wounds are caused by sharp objects, resulting in clean cuts with significant bleeding. Contused wounds are due to blunt objects, leading to irregular edges and tissue damage. Puncture wounds are deep, caused by pointed objects, with minimal bleeding but a high risk of infection and internal injury.
