What it is
Stitches and staples are used to close a wound after surgery or injury and support the healing process. Their removal is an important step in recovery and should be done at the correct time, according to the type of wound and medical indication.
Who it's for
Patients whose wounds have healed and require suture or staple removal as advised by their doctor, especially those with reduced mobility or anxiety around clinical settings.

- Assessment of wound healing
- Sterile removal of stitches using professional instruments
