Procedure of suturing simple wounds with radioactive sutures

At the Center of Horizons, We take a systematic approach to suturing simple wounds using radioactive sutures:

  1. Initial evaluation: We examine the wound to make sure it is superficial and does not contain foreign bodies or infections, and assess its need for suturing.
  2. Local anesthesia: We use a local anesthetic (such as lidocaine) to numb the area around the wound to ensure patient comfort.
  3. Cleaning the wound: Clean the wound thoroughly with a saline solution or disinfectant to prevent infection, then carefully dry the area.
  4. Radiosutures: We use radioactive sutures (visible in X-rays) to suture the wound accurately, which helps with follow-up if it needs to be photographed later.
  5. Follow-up and care: We apply a sterile bandage, provide instructions for wound care such as keeping it dry, and schedule a thread removal appointment (usually after 5-14 days depending on the location).
    Our goal is to ensure that the wound heals healthily while minimizing the risk of infection or scarring.
