ANS: 3
Granulation tissue is red, moist tissue composed of new blood vessels, the presence of which in-dicates progression toward healing. Soft, yellow or white tissue is characteristic of slough (stringy substance attached to wound bed), and you will need to remove this before the wound is able to heal. Black or brown necrotic tissue is eschar, which you will also need to remove before healing can proceed.
