When to Seek Stitches for a Wound
Stitches (also called sutures) are used to help close lacerations that may not heal properly on their own. They also help prevent infection and minimize scarring. It’s a good idea to seek medical care and professional suturing if you’ve sustained a wound that is:
- Gaping
- Especially long, deep, or wide
- Jagged around the edges
- Contaminated with dirt or debris
- Bleeding heavily
- Located on your face, neck, hands, feet, or over a joint
- The result of a bite
If your wound continues to bleed heavily after applying pressure for at least 10 minutes or if you experience any potentially life-threatening symptoms such as trouble breathing or loss of consciousness, head to the nearest ER or call 911 right away. For less serious wounds, visit us at Halifax Health ExpressCare, where we will evaluate your injury, numb the area, clean out the wound, and administer stitches. We’ll also provide you with instructions for how to care for your wound at home, answer any questions you have, and advise you on follow-up visits if necessary.
