Sutures
Primary Care
At Anita Healthcare Inc., we provide professional suturing services for cuts, lacerations, and surgical wounds. Our experienced team ensures wounds are cleaned, closed, and treated properly to promote healing, reduce infection risk, and minimize scarring.
What Are Sutures?
Sutures, commonly known as stitches, are a medical method used to close wounds by holding the edges of skin together while they heal. They are essential for deeper cuts, injuries with heavy bleeding, or wounds in areas where proper closure is needed for function or appearance.
How Sutures Work
Your provider begins by carefully cleaning and examining the wound to reduce infection risk. Local anesthesia may be used for comfort. Using sterile techniques, the wound is closed with sutures appropriate for its size and depth. In some cases, absorbable stitches are used, while others may require removal after the wound heals. Aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal recovery.

FAQ
FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions.
How do I know if my cut needs sutures?
If a wound is deep, bleeding heavily, has separated edges, or is on the face/joint, it likely needs stitches.
How long do sutures stay in?
It depends on the wound and location—typically 5–14 days. Some stitches dissolve on their own.
What aftercare is needed?
Keep the wound clean and dry, follow instructions, and return for stitch removal if necessary.
Will I have a scar?
Some scarring is possible, but proper suturing minimizes its appearance.
