Benefits of GP Wound Care
What is Wound Suturing?
Wound suturing (stitching) is a medical procedure used to hold body tissues together after an injury.
When a cut is deep, gaping, or bleeding, it requires mechanical support to heal. By using sterile threads (sutures), we close the gap, which stops bleeding, protects the underlying tissue from bacteria, and ensures the skin heals across a narrow line rather than a wide scar. For many patients, this falls under emergency wound care that can be safely managed outside of a hospital.

Wound Suturing FAQS
You likely need stitches if the cut is deep, longer, gaping open, or won't stop bleeding after applying pressure.
Typically, face stitches are removed in 5 days, while body and limb stitches stay in for 7-14 days, depending on location.
No, the procedure itself is painless because we inject a local anesthetic to numb the area first.
Usually, you must keep the wound dry for the first 24-48 hours. After that, gentle washing is often permitted, but soaking (baths/swimming) is avoided.
It varies by wound complexity. A standard repair incurs a consultation fee plus a procedure fee. Please check our billing page or call for details.
We treat most minor trauma. However, severe injuries involving broken bones, uncontrollable bleeding, or deep nerve/tendon damage are referred to the Emergency Department.
