Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
CONT

La plaie se rétracte sous l'influence de cellules particulières, les myofibroblastes. En s'appauvrissant progressivement en eau et en contenant de moins en moins de vaisseaux, le tissu de granulation devient plus ferme. Il se transforme en tissu cicatriciel qui, à son tour, favorisera la rétraction cicatricielle.
