	Corneal Laceration in Cats - PetPlace.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Lacerations or scratches of the cornea occur from trauma to the eye.
		Lacerations that create flaps in the cornea or that involve the first 1/3 of the cornea may require surgery to trim these flaps and to clean the lesion.
		Lacerations that are deep in the cornea and injuries that have penetrated into the eye are considered emergencies.

	Laceration versus puncture wound - Evanston Northwestern Healthcare
		A laceration is a wound that is produced by the tearing of soft body tissue.

	Laceration Repair \| AHealthyMe.com
		A laceration is a traumatic break in the skin caused by a sharp object producing edges that may be jagged, dirty, or bleeding.
		Lacerations are less likely to become infected if they are repaired soon after they occur.
		The four goals of laceration repair are to stop bleeding, prevent infection, preserve function, and restore appearance.

	Handbook of Ocular Disease Management - Conjunctival Laceration
		Although the conjunctiva is normally a tough, resilient tissue, it may be lacerated in cases of ocular trauma with sharp or pointed objects such as fingernails, tree branches or the edge of a piece of paper.
		If the laceration is larger, first apply topical anesthesia and use a forceps or moistened cotton-tipped applicator to manipulate any ragged areas of conjunctiva back into position.
		Conjunctival lacerations are a minor problem that typically resolve with minimal intervention, yet patients often present with great anxiety.

	Laceration Repair \| Principal Health News
		If the laceration is deep, several absorbable stitches (sutures) are placed in the tissue under the skin to help bring the tissue layers together.
		If the laceration is the result of a human or animal bite, if it is very dirty, or if the patient has a medical condition that alters wound healing, oral antibiotics may be prescribed.
		The laceration is kept clean and dry for at least 24 hours after the repair.

	Laceration Repair Information on Healthline
		A laceration is a wound caused by a sharp object producing edges that may be jagged, dirty, or bleeding.
		Lacerations most often affect the skin, but any tissue may be lacerated, including subcutaneous fat, tendon, muscle, or bone.
		Many physicians will not repair a laceration that is more than eight hours old because the risk of infection is too great.

	Blunt Traumatic Tracheal Laceration
		Blunt traumatic tracheal laceration is a rare injury that requires surgical intervention in nearly all cases [1].
		The natural history of these lacerations is that the injury heals itself with severe scarring and ultimately stenosis of the trachea.
		To repair the injury a limited debridement of the edges should be performed followed by primary repair with interrupted or continuous absorbable sutures.

	Handbook of Ocular Corneal Laceration
		A corneal laceration results from direct trauma to the cornea, typically from a metallic object impacting with sufficient force.
		The diagnosis of corneal laceration must be made as quickly as possible with as little intervention as possible.
		With a corneal laceration, the patient frequently is lacrimating too heavily for the Seidel test to be performed with any degree of accuracy.

		Laceration, despite poor production quality, managed to impress me quite a bit.
		Simplistic solos may have something to do with the rough texture of Laceration's sound, but more complex ones would be desirable.
		Laceration could definitely go places with some practice and a better-sounding release, production-wise.
