Can a wound heal without stitches?
Yes but there is a great chance that it would get infected and take twice as long to heal; then there is a possibility that they would lose too much blood. What is important for healing is that the wound surfaces are clean and that they are brought together so the tissues will rejoin. There are other means of bringing and holding cut tissue surfaces together, such as skin adhesives or tight dressings. Deep wounds are another matter and may require multiple layers of stitches or bindings.

How many stitches does it take to cover a half inch cut?
A wound is one thing that is always unique; no two wounds are ever exactly the same in length or depth. We have all had a minor cut, such as a paper cut. These are superficial wounds, because they only affect the first layer of skin. The edges of a superficial wound are usually straight, and the edges naturally stay close together. A deeper superficial wound may only need a "butterfly strip" to keep the edges together so it can heal. However, other wounds are deeper. We might call the wound a "gash", because the edges are open. We can often see into the wound to the tissues under the skin. A gash always needs stitches. The number of stitches depends on how deep the gash is; how long the wound is; and whether it is a straight line wound or a jagged edge wound. Stitches begin inside a deeper wound, using special "thread" that the body will dissolve over time as the wound heals. The stitches are used in layers, from the inside out (sort of like pressing the bottom of a almost empty tube, until you get to the top). The deepest part may only need 1 stitch, but it could need many stitches. The next layer often needs more stitches along the INNER length of the wound. On MOST wounds, there is one inner layer and one skin layer, but there could be more layers used on the inside, depending on the depth of the wound. As one example, I stepped on the lid of a can from cat food. The metal is very sharp, but circular and easily bent (so it causes ragged wound edges inside). So the metal would make a shorter cut inside than it would at the skin-- the skin wound would be much longer. The E.R. doctor put in two stitches at the deepest part; then three at the next layer; and 5 on top of that because the metal had bent as I stepped on it, making the wound more jagged inside. He closed the skin layer with 7 stitches. But one stitch at the end of the wound made the skin pucker; it needed removed and they put two stitches there instead. Every wound is different. The number of stitches needed cannot be known until after a doctor assesses the wound. The doctor will use only enough stitches to keep the edges, inside and out, close together so the body will begin to fill in the wound with granulation cells that repair the wound. Not all wounds leave scars, but some do.
What 5 steps involve for an open wounds?
