How to Tell if a Wound Needs Stitches
Minor cuts and lacerations will typically heal on their own as long as they are cleaned and dressed properly. However, professional wound care, such as sutures, may be necessary for deeper and more severe injuries. A wound is likely to require stitches if it:
- Is longer than ½-inch or deeper than ¼ inch
- Bleeds enough to soak through a bandage or continues bleeding when pressure is applied
- Has jagged edges that cannot be easily pushed together
- Is deep enough to show yellow fatty tissue
- Is located on the face or over a major joint
Our provider will examine your injury carefully to determine whether stitches are necessary. We’ll also clean and dress your wound, and provide a treatment plan for you to follow as you heal. While we offer wound care for most non-emergency injuries, we encourage you to seek immediate emergency medical attention by dialing 911 if your wound appears to be life- or limb-threatening.
