What is a Laceration?

A laceration is a deep cut or tear in the skin, often caused by accidents, sharp objects, or trauma. Lacerations can vary in depth and severity, ranging from minor nicks that may heal on their own to deep cuts that require medical attention.

Proper treatment is essential because untreated lacerations can lead to:

  • Infection

  • Delayed healing

  • Scarring or tissue damage

  • Complications in sensitive areas like the face, hands, or joints

At Sahara West Urgent Care, we assess the wound and recommend the most effective repair method for safe and rapid healing.

When Should You Seek Laceration Repair?

It is crucial to seek urgent care immediately for lacerations that display any of the following signs:

Red Flag Symptoms:

  • Deep or gaping cuts where skin edges don’t meet

  • Heavy bleeding that continues after 10–15 minutes of pressure

  • Cuts exposing fat, muscle, or bone

  • Wounds on sensitive areas such as the face, hands, or joints

  • Signs of infection: redness, swelling, warmth, pus, or fever

Note: Even minor cuts can benefit from professional evaluation to ensure proper cleaning and closure.

How Laceration Repairs Are Performed

At Sahara West Urgent Care, we follow a structured and safe approach to repair lacerations:

Step 1: Cleaning the Wound

  • Remove debris, dirt, or foreign particles

  • Disinfect thoroughly to reduce infection risk

Step 2: Numbing the Area

  • Local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort during repair

Step 3: Wound Closure

  • Stitches (sutures) for deep or large cuts

  • Staples for certain areas requiring extra strength

  • Medical adhesive (skin glue) for smaller, superficial lacerations

Step 4: Bandaging & Aftercare

  • Apply protective dressing to maintain a clean healing environment

  • Provide aftercare instructions including cleaning, monitoring, and signs of infection

Healing Timeline:

  • Minor lacerations: 7–10 days

  • Deep lacerations: 2–4 weeks

Proper follow-up ensures faster healing and minimal scarring
