Cuts to Wounds
Expert Care for Lacerations, Cuts, and Wounds at Afterhours Urgent Care
At Afterhours Urgent Care, we understand that accidents happen when least expected, which is why we offer comprehensive treatment for lacerations, cuts, and wounds with no appointment necessary.
We offer guidance on how to care for your wound at home to ensure proper healing.
When to Seek Medical Care for Lacerations and Cuts
Our team of experienced medical professionals is equipped to handle everything from minor cuts to more serious lacerations requiring immediate attention.
While minor cuts and scrapes can often be treated at home, certain injuries require professional medical attention to prevent complications such as infections or scarring. Here are some instances when you should visit Afterhours Urgent Care:
- Severe Bleeding: If the bleeding does not stop after 10 minutes of applied pressure.
- Deep or Long Cuts: Especially if the cut is deeper than ¼ inch, appears jagged, or exposes underlying tissues like muscles, fat, or bones.
- Cuts from Rusty Objects: These may require a tetanus shot to prevent infection.
- Cuts Over Joints: If the cut opens with movement, it may need stitches to heal properly.
- Visible Foreign Objects: If you cannot easily remove the object embedded in the wound.
