Sår läkningsfrämjande, also known as wound healing promotion, refers to the processes and interventions designed to accelerate and optimize the natural healing of damaged tissues. This encompasses a range of factors, from the body's inherent biological mechanisms to external treatments and environmental conditions.

The body's own response to injury involves several distinct phases. Initially, hemostasis occurs, where blood vessels constrict and platelets form a clot to stop bleeding. This is followed by an inflammatory phase, characterized by the arrival of immune cells to clean up debris and fight infection. The proliferative phase involves the formation of new tissue, including granulation tissue and the growth of new blood vessels. Finally, the remodeling phase is where the tissue strengthens and reorganizes over time.

Factors that can promote wound healing include maintaining a moist wound environment, which is crucial for cell migration and tissue regeneration. Proper nutrition, particularly adequate protein, vitamins (like C and A), and minerals (like zinc), provides the building blocks and cofactors necessary for tissue repair. Effective pain management can reduce stress and allow the body to focus resources on healing.

Interventions to promote healing can include advanced wound dressings that create an optimal environment, debridement to remove non-viable tissue, and sometimes medical treatments like negative pressure wound therapy or growth factors. Preventing infection is paramount, as it can significantly impede the healing process. Factors like good circulation, adequate oxygenation, and avoidance of excessive pressure or friction on the wound site are also vital.
