Tunneling wounds typically form unidirectional passageways between the skin surface and organ spaces whereas undermined wounds tend to present with more complex, less predictable spread. Subcutaneous tissue destruction in wound undermining is often extensive, involving fat, muscle, and connective tissue. ...

Slough wounds can lead to an increased risk of infection, protracted inflammatory response, delayed transition to the proliferative phase of healing, and prolonged healing times. Chronic wounds with slough are marked by heavy exudate, frequent infection, impaired tissue regeneration, and overproduction of reactive oxygen species, which ...

Stage 3 involves the full thickness of the skin and may extend into the subcutaneous tissue layer; granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. At this stage, there may be undermining and/or tunneling that makes the wound much larger than it may seem on the surface. Stage 4 pressure ulcers are the deepest, …

Tunneling refers to passageways underneath the skin surface that extend from a wound and can take twists and turns. Slough and eschar may also be present in Stage 3 and 4 pressure injuries. Slough is inflammatory exudate that is usually light yellow, soft, and moist. Eschar is dark brown/black, dry, thick, and leathery dead tissue.

Full-thickness loss of skin, in which adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer and granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by anatomical location; areas of significant adiposity can develop deep wounds. Undermining and tunneling may occur.

Clock terms are often used to describe the position of the tunnel within the wound bed. This is helpful in identifying and remeasuring tunnel depth at a later time in order to assess progress of wound healing. Tunneling can occur in any wound, but it occurs most commonly in surgical wounds and wounds occurring from a neuropathic …
