Rationale: The formation of granulation tissue is characterized by the presence of capillary budding which give the new granulation tissue its characteristic pink-red color and appearance. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels and is characterized by the wound bed bleeding easily. Contraction occurs when the wound margins begin to pull toward the center of the wound reducing the wound surface. Remodeling occurs after the wound has closed.
