What first aid for minor cuts?
There is controversy over the use of topical antiseptics in the treatment of minor cuts. It is known that common antiseptics (hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol) cause additional cell death and therefore may increase wound healing time. Never apply such antiseptics to a deep or gushing wound. Soap and water is ideal for cleaning a minor wound, and a more benign antiseptic such as benzalkonium chloride is often preferable to rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, dressing the wound with double or triple antibiotic ointment may help to prevent infection. Consider the use of a triple antibiotic, as some people have an allergy to neomycin, which is often the additional active ingredient in these ointments. If treatment is delayed, such as in a wilderness setting, debridement (removal of dirt and particles) may be necessary. Since this is very uncomfortable, it is generally only performed in a setting where infection is a risk due to the increased length of time until treatment is available. The American Heart Association's First Aid curriculum addresses minor cuts only in the category of bleeding. The protocol is: -Wear gloves -Apply gauze -Apply pressure -Apply more gauze if needed to control the bleeding. -Never remove gauze directly from the wound, as this may increase bleeding If a cut is severe enough to require bleeding control, do not focus on cleaning the wound since it will need to be cleaned thoroughly prior to receiving stitches or wound dressing. Seek additional training in bleeding control for more severe cuts.
How do you know when you need stitches?
You probably need stitches if the wound appears to not be closing on its own, e.g., if the edges of the laceration are not coming together, and the wound is deep. The idea of sutures is to bring the edges of the wound together so not as much tissue-fill has to occur. So if the wound is deep, more reason for sutures. Note that, from the time of the injury, you have about 10-12 hours to get sutures. After that, sutures won't generally work.

it depends on how deep the wound is. normally they will use stitches if the wound is small and deep but they use staples if the wound is bigger but not as deep. also staples are newer and supposed to be less painful then stitches. it also depends on where your wound is. normally they staple wounds on the head and stitch on your limbs. hope this helped?
