Open Open wounds can be classified according to the object that caused the wound. The types of open wound are: Incisions or incised wounds, caused by a clean, sharp-edged object such as a knife, a razor or a glass splinter. Lacerations, irregular tear-like wounds caused by some blunt trauma. The term laceration is commonly misused in reference to incisions. Abrasions (grazes), superficial wounds in which the topmost layer of the skin (the epidermis) is scraped off. Abrasions are often caused by a sliding fall onto a rough surface. Puncture wounds, caused by an object puncturing the skin, such as a nail or needle. Penetration wounds, caused by an object such as a knife entering the body. Gunshot wounds, caused by a bullet or similar projectile driving into or through the body. There may be two wounds, one at the site of entry and one at the site of exit, such is generally known as a through-and-through. Closed Closed wounds have fewer categories, but are just as dangerous as open wounds. The types of closed wounds are: Contusions, more commonly known as bruises, caused by blunt force trauma that damages tissue under the skin. Hematomas, also called blood tumors, caused by damage to a blood vessel that in turn causes blood to collect under the skin. Crushing injuries, caused by a great or extreme amount of force applied over a long period of time.
