Granulation tissue is often characterized by a pink or red color and is an important step in the recovery from injury.

Synonyms

healing, tissue formation.

Examples of usage

  • The granulation of the wound showed improvement after the treatment.
  • Granulation tissue is critical for a wound's healing process.
  • After a few days, granulation was evident in the injured area.
Context #2 | Noun

chemical form

In the field of chemistry and materials science, granulation is the process of forming grains or granules from a powdery or crystalline substance. Granulation improves the flow properties and handling of powder materials, making them easier to work with in various applications.

Synonyms

aggregation, pelletization.

Examples of usage

  • The granulation technique was essential for the production of the final product.
  • Through granulation, the powdered substance became more manageable.
  • We studied the effects of granulation on the quality of the compound.

Etymology

The term 'granulation' originates from the Latin word 'granulatio', which is derived from 'granulum', meaning 'a little grain' or 'kernel'. This term reflects the granular nature of the tissues formed during the healing process. The concept has been used in various fields since the Middle Ages, particularly in medicine, to describe the healing of wounds and the formation of new tissue. Over time, it has also been adopted in industries such as pharmaceuticals and materials science to refer to the agglomeration or formation of granules from powders. The evolution of the term highlights its significance across different disciplines, linking it to both biological processes and practical applications in manufacturing.
