Suture: Laceration Repair App

Tom Fadial

About this app

Figuring out how to manage a laceration just got a lot easier. With Suture.app, you'll have all the information you could need at your fingertips. Our easy-to-use interface will guide you from start to finish.

As soon as you select the laceration location, you'll start getting repair recommendations including suture material and sizes, other closure methods (like staples or hair apposition), technique references with guided videos and illustrations and instructions to share with patients including removal timeframes.

And that's just the beginning! Add more detail (like wound depth, shape, and location-specific complications) and you'll get even more information. Facing a deep, linear laceration to the scalp and aren't sure what to do with the galea? What about a high-tension extremity laceration with seawater exposure? Is that an eyelid laceration I shouldn't work on? No problem, in addition to basic repair information, Suture.app can walk you through every step including antibiotic and tetanus prophylaxis and will even generate a pre-populated procedure note.

Features:
• Comprehensive database of laceration types and complications
• Library of repair techniques with videos and illustrations (from Dr. Brian Lin's Closing the Gap)
• Generate procedure notes
• Patient instruction samples including precautions and removal timeframes
• Quick reference on suture types and local anesthetic use

Ratings and reviews

Great app for up and coming doctors, allowing you to determine suture types and even videos showing you how to do it. Perfect for that budding emergency doctor or even just that junior resident needing that little bit of help that sometimes is hard to get in department. Great app I've used it multiple times and suggested it multiple more. Cheers team.

Easy to use, and the information and videos are well formatted. A nice easy reference when I'm trying to decide which technique is best!

As a family medicine resident, I don't suture enough to have all this info in my head and ready to go. A very valuable reference.
