Stitching Removal/Application at Home in Antalya
How is Suturing Performed?
If there is no problem with the tendon and the wound is not too fragmented, suturing is performed in an extremely sterile environment using a sterile suture set after the area is cleaned.
What is Suture Removal and How is it Done?
Suture removal refers to removing the stitches with the help of a scalpel or forceps after the wound has healed.
Surgical sutures placed due to injury or surgery should be removed approximately 10 days afterward.
There are also absorbable/disintegrating suture materials that do not require removal.
For Your Health...
Suturing is a matter that requires urgent attention. When a cut occurs, the size and shape of the laceration are important.
The suturing and healing time may vary depending on the area of the body where the injury has occurred.
For example, stitches on the finger are usually small. However, especially for stitches on the hand or fingers, professional intervention should never be compromised. Since the muscle and nerve systems of the finger are very complex and sensitive, all such medical procedures should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional, nurse, or doctor.

What is Home Suture Removal and Home Suturing Service?
The process of having suturing or suture removal performed at home by medical professionals for various reasons is called home suture removal / home suturing. These procedures are highly preferred for patient comfort and maintaining health among home healthcare services. Going to the hospital for even short procedures like removing or placing stitches can take a lot of time due to travel and waiting. In contrast, getting these services at home enables them to be completed quickly at your preferred time. The qualified healthcare staff of Beyaz Melekler Home Care Center, operating in Antalya, performs suture placement and removal at your home using sterile forceps, scalpels, scissors, and disinfectants with maximum comfort.
What is the Healing Time for Stitched Areas?
Although it varies depending on the size and nature of the wound, the average healing time is 5 days for the face, 10 days for hands and feet, and around 9 days for other body areas.
How Many Days Until Hand Stitches are Removed?
Hand stitches are removed after 10 days. If there are no particular conditions with the patient or the area, stitches on the hands can be removed after 10 days. You can have this procedure done by visiting Beyaz Melekler Home Care Center or by requesting home suture removal at your residence or workplace.
