Sutures and Wound Closure
Professional wound closure for cuts and lacerations
About This Service
Deep cuts and lacerations require proper medical attention to ensure they heal correctly and minimize the risk of infection or scarring. At Fast Med Medical Center, our skilled medical providers are experienced in wound closure techniques including traditional sutures (stitches), adhesive strips, and skin glue. We evaluate each wound carefully to determine the best closure method based on location, depth, and type of injury. Before any procedure, we use local anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort throughout the process. Our team takes special care to align wound edges properly, which is crucial for optimal healing and minimal scarring. We provide detailed instructions for wound care, signs of infection to watch for, and when you should return for suture removal. Many patients can return to their normal activities quickly with proper wound care and healing support.
