The characteristics of each zone on burn wound.

Types of burnsZone of coagulationZone of stasisZone of hyperemia

Jackson [2]Flame, scald (human)White color macroscopically
Nonpatent blood vessels
Coagulation tissue
Change from red to white color macroscopically
Loss of blood vessels and necrosis until days 3–7
Turn to red color until day 4 macroscopically
Heal until day 7
Loss of epidermis, normal dermis, and patent blood vessels

Present research
(H&E)
Scald (mice)White color macroscopically
Nonpatent blood vessels
Coagulation and necrotic tissue
White color macroscopicallyLoss of epidermis around day 2 or 3, covered surface with eosinophilic like material, and formation of clotTurn to red color around day 2 or 3
Retention of epidermis, normal dermis, and patent blood vessels
