About stitches & laceration repair
Cuts that gape open, keep bleeding through pressure, or sit over joints often need professional closure. Urgent care handles the large majority of simple lacerations with stitches, staples, or medical skin adhesive.
When a cut needs closure
Rules of thumb: edges that pull apart, depth past the top skin layer, bleeding that soaks through direct pressure after 10–15 minutes, or any cut across a joint line. Closure works best within roughly 6–12 hours of injury, so same-day care matters — one reason this is a core urgent care service rather than a wait-for-your-doctor problem.
What belongs in the ER instead
Deep wounds with visible fat, muscle, or bone; heavy arterial bleeding; amputations; wounds from serious crush injuries; and most animal or human bites to the face or hands warrant emergency care. Tetanus boosters are typically available at urgent care when your vaccination history calls for one.
- Bleeding that won't slow with firm pressure
- Visible fat, muscle, or bone
- Amputation or near-amputation
- Deep facial wounds
