Jun 25, 2014 The biggest difference between sinus tracts or tunneling and undermining is that tunneling and sinus tracts are unidirectional, whereas undermining may occur in more than one direction. Tunneling and undermining are not always easily visualized, therefore all wounds should be thoroughly probed in order to determine the full extent of tissue damage.

Mar 01, 1998 Answer: Managing a tunneling wound requires first determining the extent of tunneling or undermining. Undermining is less extensive, while tunneling penetrates more deeply into tissue. Probe the perimeter of the wound gently to determine the extent of penetration. Determine whether or not the wound is infected and what the causative organism is.

Aug 25, 2021 Tunneling and undermining are two types of wounds categorized during wound assessment. Tunneling occurs when the subcutaneous tissue is destructed in a linear fashion. Undermining occurs when the tissue under the wound edges is eroded. Tunneling is unidirectional, while undermining may occur in more than one direction.

Feb 19, 2022 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.

May 28, 2018 To measure tunneling, a probe is gently inserted into the passageway until resistance is felt. The distance from the tip of the probe to the point at which the probe is level with the wound edge represents the depth of the tunnel. Clock terms are often used to describe the position of the tunnel within the wound bed. This is helpful in

Nov 15, 2017 The first step in assessment is to determine through examination of the wound and patient or caregiver interview the progression of the wound and possible causes of the tunneling.

Apr 01, 2019 Length of tunnel: Undermining is when a wound diameter is wider at its base (deep in the wound) than at the wound's skin edge. For example, the hole in the skin may be 5mm, but the base of the wound cavity is 10mm. Tunneling is when the wound tracks under the skin to another opening in the skin or to a deeper cavity.

Jun 30, 2022 Wound edge management is an important part of the wound healing process. Wound edges can become rolled (epibole), have tunneling or undermining, and may become dry, scaly, calloused, or hyperkeratotic. All of these conditions can impede wound healing and must be addressed before the wound can progress toward closure.
