Emergency Room for Stitches and Deep Cuts in Houston

No Wait, Just Care.

Deep cuts or wounds can happen unexpectedly, whether from a kitchen accident, sports injury, or other unfortunate events. When bleeding is severe or the wound is deep, immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent infection, minimize scarring, and promote proper healing. At Heights Emergency Room in Houston, we specialize in providing prompt, professional care for deep cuts and wounds requiring stitches.

When Do You Need Stitches?

While minor cuts and scrapes can often be treated at home, some wounds require professional medical attention. You should visit an emergency room if you experience:

• A cut that is deeper than a quarter-inch.
• A wound with edges that do not stay together.
• Heavy bleeding that doesn’t stop after applying pressure for 10 minutes.
• A wound located on the face, hands, joints, or near sensitive areas.
• A cut caused by a dirty or rusty object, which may require a tetanus shot.
• A wound with debris embedded in it, such as glass or dirt.
• Signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or pus.
