Granulation tissue is a fundamental component of the proliferative phase of wound healing, as it serves as the foundation for tissue repair [1], [2], and [3]. The formation of this tissue is a critical step in the wound healing process [4], and its quality or presence is often used as a clinical indicator of whether the wound healing is progressing correctly or is being impaired by infection [5], [6], and [7].

claimDuring the proliferative stage, granulation tissue that is very dark in color may indicate that the wound is not healing correctly and requires medical attention.
procedureThe proliferative stage of wound healing proceeds in three steps: (1) The wound is filled with new cells forming granulation tissues, which are pink or red and uneven in texture, while new blood vessels form to supply oxygen and nutrients. (2) The body defines the outside edge of the wound as granulation tissues pull the edges together. (3) The wound is layered with epithelial cells to cover the surface.

referenceInfected wounds exhibit specific clinical characteristics: delayed healing or wound breakdown, friable or discolored granulation tissue, purulent drainage (yellow or green with potential foul odor), increased tissue hardening (induration), increased pain and tenderness, redness/swelling/warmth extending beyond wound margins, and potential systemic symptoms like fever, chills, or malaise.
claimInfection impairs the proliferation phase of wound healing by damaging fibroblasts with inflammatory mediators, which reduces collagen synthesis and the formation of healthy granulation tissue.

claimThe wound healing process involves angiogenesis, where new blood vessels form to support fibroblasts engaged in fibroplasia, creating granulation tissue that serves as a foundation for epithelial cell migration.
