Suturing (stitches) for minor injuries
Minor cuts and wounds can sometimes require stitches to help the edges of the wound come together and support proper healing. Prompt assessment can also help reduce the risk of infection and other complications.
Our minor injury care provides assessment and treatment for suitable wounds, with a focus on safe wound closure, infection prevention, and appropriate aftercare.

Treatment for Minor Injuries
Not every cut requires stitches. During your assessment, we will determine the most appropriate method of treatment based on the wound and your individual circumstances. Depending on the injury, treatment may include wound closure, dressing, or other appropriate care. Early treatment can be particularly important for wounds that are deep, open, contaminated, or located in areas where proper healing is important.
Supporting Safe Healing
Following your wound-care instructions can help support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Keep the wound clean and protected, avoid unnecessary pressure or irritation, and attend any recommended follow-up appointments.
If you have a cut or minor wound that may require stitches, seek medical assessment as soon as possible.
We can assess the injury and provide appropriate treatment and aftercare guidance.
