Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: Safe removal of surgical stitches or staples once a wound has closed. Timely removal is essential to prevent "track marks" and localized infection.

What is the Service?

The nurse assesses the wound for full closure, carefully snips the sutures using sterile instruments, and applies a protective strip if needed.

Why get this service?

  • After the recommended healing period (usually 7-14 days) for a surgical incision.
  • To avoid a trip back to the hospital just for a 5-minute procedure.

Safety Protocol

If the nurse finds the wound is not fully closed, they will provide a clinical assessment and advice on delaying removal for safety.

Preparation

Ensure you know the date the stitches were put in. The nurse will need to see the wound in good light.
