Absorbable Suture Repair
Absorbable sutures (stitches) hold skin together so you can heal. Keep skin wounds clean and dry for the next 2 to 3 days. Then, you may gently wash your wound and dress it with an antibiotic ointment as recommended. As your wound begins to heal, the sutures are no longer needed, and they typically begin to fall off. This will take 7 to 10 days. After 10 days, if your sutures are loose, you can remove them by wiping with a clean gauze pad or a cotton ball. Do not pull your sutures out. They should wipe away easily. If after 10 days they do not easily wipe away, have your caregiver take them out. Absorbable sutures may be used deep in a wound to help hold it together. If these stitches are below the skin, the body will absorb them completely in 3 to 4 weeks.

•You cannot remember when you had your last tetanus shot.
