Wounds are defined as an effraction or loss of continuity of the skin by a vulnating agent, i.e., by any object likely to cause an injury. Superficial wounds are one of the most frequent accidents in everyday life, and the majority occur on the upper or lower extremities and the head, but of course they can occur in any part of the body.
