(b)(4).It is expected that a wound heals in stages and should be of normal appearance related to the timeframe since the incision was made.A surgical wound should be well approximated without redness, warmth, swelling and/or purulent drainage for the duration of its healing.The expression wound concerns or non-healing wound would imply that the appearance of the wound deviates from what a surgical wound should appear as.It may be red, have drainage, additional pain, warmth and swelling as well as healing time may be delayed.Necrotic tissue can result from a non-healing wound.This deviation signifies an alteration in the wound healing process.As reported a surgical site scar revision was performed due to delayed/altered healing to promote healing and prevent further necrosis.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
