Suture: Laceration Repair App
An easy-to-use reference
Free · Designed for iPad
Suture.app is an easy-to-use, free, bedside app for laceration repairs. Quickly find out what size to use, watch videos and learn how to manage common complications.
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
