wound closure

Wound closure is the process of bringing the edges of a cut or injury together to promote healing. This can be achieved through settings like stitches, staples, glue, or special tapes, which hold the skin in place. Proper closure helps protect against infection, reduces bleeding, and speeds up healing. The body then begins repairs underneath, forming new skin over time. The method used depends on the wound’s size, location, and depth, aiming for the best possible healing with minimal scarring.
