BadgerCare Plus. BadgerCare Plus is a health care coverage program for low-income Wisconsin residents. DHS is seeking feedback on a draft plan for monitoring access to fee-for-service health care through its Medicaid program.
The subsequent rate of gain in wound tensile strength is slow, with the wound having gained only 20% of its final strength after 3 weeks. The final strength of the wound remains less than that of uninjured skin, with the maximum breaking strength of the scar reaching only 70% of that of the intact skin [34].
Wounds that heal by secondary intention close by scar formation. Check the skin for signs of scarring, which indicates an earlier full-thickness (or greater) wound. Scar that is immature may be thin and flexible and be at risk for skin breakdown. Scar never has the same breaking strength as original skin (Figure 5).
