The Proliferative Stage of a wound comes after the initial Inflammatory stage (the inflammatory stage is the first 2 - 3 days). After the inflammatory stage, the proliferative stage lasts about 3 weeks (or longer, depending on the severity of thewound). Granulation occurs, which means that special cells called fibroblasts make collagen to fill in the wound. New blood vessels form. The wound gradually contracts and is covered by a layer of skin.
