<prompt> The tensile strength of wound reaches that of tissue by ?6 weeks2 months4 monthsNone  <response>: Ans. is None It never equals the tensile strength of unwounded skin. Robbins writes- How long does it take for a skin wound to achieve its maximal strength? When sutures are removed from an incisional surgical wound, usually at the end of the first week, wound strength is approximately 10 that of unwounded skin. Wound strength increases rapidly over the next 4 weeks, slows down at approximately the third month after the original incision, and reaches a plateau at about 70 to 80 of the tensile strength of unwounded skin.
