Suturing for Minor Cuts and Wounds
Suturing is the process of stitching a cut or wound to close it, promote healing, and prevent infection. It is necessary for deep, wide, or bleeding wounds that cannot heal on their own.
You should seek medical attention within a few hours of sustaining the injury to reduce the risk of infection and ensure proper healing.

The area around the wound will be numbed using a local anesthetic to ensure the procedure is painless. You might feel slight pressure during the process.
Without proper suturing, deep wounds may take longer to heal, increase the risk of infection, and result in more noticeable scarring.
The time varies depending on the wound location and size but generally ranges between 5 to 14 days. Your doctor will advise you on when to have them removed.
Keep the wound clean and dry, avoid excessive movement, and follow your doctor’s advice on cleaning and dressing changes.
