Laceration Repair

Expert laceration repair services provided at Revere Health are focused on effective treatment and optimal healing. Our goal is to control bleeding, reduce infection risk, and ensure a clean repair environment.

Initial Evaluation
Upon arrival, our physicians conduct a thorough evaluation, assessing the wound’s characteristics and checking for underlying damage. Local anesthesia may be used to facilitate the repair.

Repair Techniques
We offer several methods to close lacerations based on their nature:

Sutures: Ideal for deep or jagged wounds, ensuring proper alignment to minimize scarring.
Dermabond: A specialized glue for superficial lacerations, especially on the face and arms.
Steristrips: Adhesive strips for clean, shallow wounds.
Staples: Effective for larger lacerations, particularly on the scalp or torso.
Post-Repair Care
After the procedure, we provide instructions for at-home care, emphasizing the importance of keeping the area clean and monitoring for infection.

When to Seek Help
Not all cuts require medical attention. Superficial wounds without active bleeding can often be treated at home. However, seek medical help for deeper injuries, persistent bleeding, or signs of infection.
