A tissue type defines an extra way that wound outlines can be assigned. They will be used to divide wounds into outlines, which can then have a tissue type assigned (so a wound can be part necrotic and part granulating). The default list defined is Not Classified, Bone, Epithelial, Eschar, Granulation, Healthy, Hypergranulation, and Slough
To define and manage tissue types, select Organization >Tissue Types.
The order in which the tissue types appear in the list, is the order in which they will be shown in on the Trace Tissue screen in SilhouetteConnect. To change this order, drag-and-drop the items to reposition them.
