Cuts & Lacerations Care at AFC Urgent Care Phoenixville

Tumbles, falls, puncture wounds, and accidents, in general, can happen at any time inside and outside of work or home. When a bad cut or laceration occurs, it is extremely important to receive medical treatment as soon as possible, to avoid the risk of infection or contamination. Most lacerations are not life-threatening, but medical attention is important to ensure the appropriate treatment is administered promptly. With long wait-times and the high cost of the emergency room, AFC Urgent Care West Chester is a great alternative.

Another consideration -- a minor injury can become serious quickly if you are diabetic or are immuno-compromised - so don’t delay in seeking medical care with us.

Clean cuts or jagged, gaping, and bleeding wounds require prompt medical care. At AFC Urgent Care Phoenixville, we have a highly qualified medical team available 7 days a week to treat these types of injuries. Lacerations often require suturing, but in some cases, they can be treated with bandages or tissue glue.

Walk-in any day of the week to receive prompt high-quality medical care for injuries.

You May Need A Tetanus Booster

If the object responsible for your injury was dirty or rusty you will need to make sure your wound is thoroughly cleaned. A tetanus booster may also be necessary.

A tetanus immunization is generally good for 10 years, although depending on the incident or circumstances, a tetanus booster may be recommended during your visit for the injury.
