There are five general types of lacerations: Split laceration: This type of wound is caused when part of the body is crushed between two objects. While not as serious and a crush injury, a split laceration is caused in the same manner, with the striking object making a blunt impact and causing the skin and tissues to tear from compression.

What are vaginal tears? Severe tears are called third degree and fourth degree lacerations. A third degree laceration is a tear that extends through vaginal tissue, perineal skin, and perineal muscles that extend into the muscles around the anus. A fourth degree laceration extends to the anal sphincter and the tissue beneath it. These severe tears can cause problems with incontinence later. Infections are possible, but are unlikely if you’re receiving proper treatment.

Difference Between Abrasion and Laceration In this regard, when the skin is wounded it can either become lacerated, or abraded. According to the degree or depth of the injury, abrasion and laceration are only two of the several types of wounds including avulsion, puncture and incision wounds. Abrasion is the milder form of injury compared to laceration because it only involves the scraping away of a certain region of the integument. Thus, it is a more superficial (the most superficial) type of wound. Lacerations, on the contrary, are deeper wounds.

Essentials of Skin Laceration Repair Skin laceration repair is an important skill in family medicine. Sutures, tissue adhesives, staples, and skin-closure tapes are options in the outpatient setting. Physicians should be familiar with various suturing techniques, including simple, running, and half-buried mattress (corner) sutures. Although suturing is the preferred method for laceration repair, tissue adhesives are similar in patient satisfaction, infection rates, and scarring risk in low skin-tension areas and may be more cost-effective.
