Tunneled & undermined wounds

‍

Tunneled Wounds

Tunneled wounds are deep wounds characterized by a narrow passageway or tract that extends from the surface into the surrounding tissues. They often result from infection, abscesses, or trauma and can be challenging to heal due to their depth and potential for hidden infection.

‍

Undermined Wounds

Undermined wounds occur when the tissue beneath the edges of the wound becomes eroded, creating a hollow space or pocket under the skin. This condition is often caused by prolonged pressure, infection, or improper wound healing, resulting in hidden damage beneath the surface.
