Cuts and wounds often need sutures to ensure they heal, stop bleeding, and prevent infections. NewMed Immediate Care specializes in cleansing, treating, and suturing all wounds. Determining whether you need sutures depends on factors like the depth, size, location, and type of wound. If you have questions or need wound care, don’t wait to visit the nearest office as a walk-in patient. NewMed Immediate Care has clinics in Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows, and Prospect, Illinois. You can also schedule an appointment by calling or using online booking.
Sutures are a medical-grade thread that healthcare providers use to stitch together a wound. Closing the edges of a wound helps it heal faster, lowers the risk of an infection, and supports the body’s natural healing process.
There are two types of sutures: absorbable and nonabsorbable. Your body naturally breaks down and eliminates absorbable sutures. However, they’re primarily used to close surgical wounds.
Nonabsorbable sutures, the type used at NewMed Immediate Care, must be manually removed after the wound heals.
Determining when you need sutures isn’t always a simple, straightforward task. And if you need sutures, they should be done within 6-8 hours.
Whether or not you need sutures depends on variables like the size and depth of the wound, the wound type and location, and the risk of infection.
If you try to push the sides of the wound together and they don’t meet, chances are you need sutures. Even if the edges come together, you may still need stitches and treatment for a deep wound.
For these reasons, don’t hesitate to see a NewMed Immediate Care provider for your cuts and wounds.
The skilled NewMed Immediate Care team uses several guidelines to determine if you need sutures. After examining your cut or wound, your provider may recommend stitches when the wound:
Your provider also uses sutures if the wound keeps bleeding after 15 minutes of pressure.
Your NewMed Immediate Care provider stops any bleeding, cleanses and examines the wound, and then closes it. They always focus on comfort, easing pain, and ensuring pain-free suturing by applying a local anesthetic.
NewMed Immediate Care welcomes walk-in patients, or you can schedule an appointment by calling or using the online booking feature.
