An incision is a wound made by a sharp object, such as a knife. It usually has clean edges and is longer than it is deep.

A laceration is a wound created by a tearing or crushing force that results in irregular edges. A contusion is a bruise caused by blunt force trauma. An abrasion is a wound caused by a scraping or rubbing force that results in superficial damage to the skin.
