Our skilled medical staff will carefully assess your wound, evaluating its size, depth, and any potential complications. This thorough assessment guides us in determining the most appropriate course of action for your specific case.
Proper wound care begins with thorough cleaning and disinfection. Our team uses advanced techniques to cleanse the wound, reducing the risk of infection and promoting optimal healing.
In cases where stitches are necessary, our experienced healthcare professionals will skillfully administer sutures to bring the wound edges together. This promotes faster healing, reduces scarring, and provides additional support to the injured area.
We prioritize your comfort during the wound care process. Our team will implement effective pain management strategies, ensuring that you experience minimal discomfort throughout the procedure and during the healing period.
Health Now Clinic is committed to your complete recovery. We provide detailed instructions for at-home care and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing progress. This proactive approach ensures that any issues are promptly addressed, promoting a smooth and complication-free recovery.
Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 to 48 hours after stitches have been
placed, then wash 1 to 2 times daily with cool water and salt. Clean as close to the
stitches as you can.
Go see a doctor if the wound is deep, won't stop bleeding, is caused by a dirty or
rusty object, or if there are signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or pus.
Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and picking at the wound. Follow
your healthcare provider's advice on activities and medications to avoid during the
healing process.
