What to Expect
Your doctor will carry out a thorough assessment of your injury, discuss the most appropriate treatment and provide any necessary wound care, dressings or sutures where clinically appropriate. If additional investigations such as an X-ray or hospital assessment are required, we'll explain the next steps and arrange referral where appropriate.
We also provide follow-up appointments for wound reviews, dressing changes and suture removal to ensure your injury heals as expected.
Suturing (Stitches)
Many cuts and lacerations can be safely treated in our clinic using sutures, skin adhesive or Steri-Strips®, depending on the type and location of the wound.
Prompt assessment is important, as many wounds should ideally be closed within a limited timeframe to reduce the risk of infection and achieve the best cosmetic outcome. If you've sustained a deep cut or laceration, we recommend arranging assessment as soon as possible.
