Walk-in laceration repair, wound closure, and suture services for cuts, gashes, and skin tears at TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, FL — no ER visit required.
Cuts, lacerations, and skin tears happen unexpectedly — in the kitchen, at work, during sports, or in everyday life. When a wound is too deep or wide for a bandage, professional closure is needed to prevent infection, reduce scarring, and promote proper healing.
TrufaMED provides expert laceration repair including sutures (stitches), wound adhesive (skin glue), and adhesive wound closure strips. Our providers clean the wound thoroughly, assess for underlying damage to tendons, nerves, or blood vessels, and close the wound using the technique best suited to its location and severity.
Visit us for cuts that are deeper than a quarter inch, will not stop bleeding after 15 minutes of direct pressure, have jagged or gaping edges, are located on the face or over a joint, or are caused by a dirty or rusty object.
Expert wound closure using sutures for lacerations that require the strongest repair. Our providers use precise technique and appropriate suture material for the wound location.
For appropriate wounds, medical-grade skin adhesive provides a pain-free, no-needle closure with excellent cosmetic results — especially popular for pediatric patients.
Thorough irrigation and cleaning of the wound to remove debris, bacteria, and damaged tissue — critical for preventing infection and promoting clean healing.
Evaluation of your tetanus vaccination status with booster administration when needed, especially for puncture wounds, rusty object injuries, and contaminated lacerations.
On-site digital X-ray to check for glass, metal, or other foreign objects embedded in the wound that may not be visible on surface examination.
We schedule suture removal at the appropriate time (typically 5-14 days depending on location) and provide wound care instructions to minimize scarring.
The emergency room is designed for life-threatening injuries, but the majority of lacerations requiring stitches can be safely and effectively treated at urgent care. The average ER wait time for a non-critical laceration is 2-4 hours, and the cost can exceed $2,000. At TrufaMED, most laceration repairs are completed within an hour at a fraction of the ER cost.
Our providers are skilled in wound repair techniques for all body areas including the face, scalp, hands, and limbs. We use local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, and we select closure methods that optimize both wound healing and cosmetic outcome.
Choose the ER over urgent care if your laceration involves heavy uncontrollable bleeding, a deep wound to the chest or abdomen, severed tendons or nerves, an amputated or partially amputated finger or limb, or a wound associated with a broken bone protruding through the skin.
