Urgent Care for Laceration Treatment in Katy, TX

Accidents can happen at any time, resulting in cuts or tears—known as lacerations—that need prompt and professional attention. Our experienced medical team is equipped to provide comprehensive laceration treatment for patients of all ages, ensuring your wound is cared for quickly and effectively.

You should seek prompt care at our clinic if your cut is:

• Deep, bleeding heavily, or has ragged/gaping edges
• Located on the face, hands, joints, or other areas where movement or cosmetic concerns matter
• Caused by a dirty or rusty object, increasing infection or tetanus risk
• Not stopping bleeding after several minutes of pressure

Our providers can also update your tetanus vaccination if necessary and provide instructions for at-home care to minimize scarring and complications.

Why Choose Memorial Health Urgent Care?
At Memorial Health, we combine urgent care expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure you receive the best possible treatment for lacerations and other minor injuries. Our convenient location and extended hours mean you don’t have to wait for an appointment—just walk in when you need us.

Urgent care team is fully equipped to treat a wide variety of lacerations (cuts), including those that are bleeding or may require stitches. Our experienced medical professionals are trained to thoroughly clean and evaluate wounds, provide suturing if necessary, and administer tetanus shots or prescribe antibiotics to help prevent infection.

If you have a laceration that is deep but the bleeding can be controlled by applying direct pressure, and the wound does not expose bone, tendon, or significant muscle, our clinic is an excellent choice for prompt, expert care. We have the necessary supplies and expertise to treat most cuts quickly and efficiently, helping you heal as safely and comfortably as possible.

However, for severe wounds with uncontrolled bleeding, extremely deep cuts, or injuries that expose bone, tendon, or significant muscle, we recommend visiting the emergency room for specialized care.

When you come to our urgent care clinic with a laceration, your care begins with a thorough assessment of the wound to determine its depth, length, and the extent of tissue damage.

The area around your laceration will be carefully cleaned with an antiseptic solution to minimize the risk of infection. If needed, we’ll administer local anesthesia to numb the area—helping you stay comfortable throughout the procedure.

Once the area is numb, our provider will gently remove any dirt, debris, or nonviable tissue (a process called debridement) to promote optimal healing. After preparing the wound, we carefully align the edges and close it using the most suitable method for your case—such as stitches (sutures), medical staples, adhesive strips, or medical-grade glue. We take special care to minimize scarring and support the best cosmetic outcome.

After closing your wound, we’ll apply a sterile dressing and provide you with clear instructions for at-home care. Our team will educate you about signs of infection to watch for and let you know when to return for follow-up or suture removal if necessary.

The healing time for a laceration can vary significantly based on factors like the depth and size of the wound, its location, your overall health, and the quality of wound care you receive. For many of our urgent care patients, minor lacerations—those that affect only the surface layers of the skin—can start to close and show improvement within a few days, often healing completely in about one to two weeks. Deeper or larger lacerations, particularly those that require stitches or other medical procedures, may take two to four weeks or longer to fully heal.

Our urgent care team specializes in providing prompt, professional wound evaluation and treatment, including cleaning, suturing, and dressing wounds to promote optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications. We also offer guidance on proper wound care at home and can monitor your progress during follow-up visits.

If you notice signs of infection—such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, pain, or pus—or if your wound isn’t healing as expected, it’s important to seek prompt medical attention.

At Memorial Health Urgent Care, Medical Weight Loss, and Infusions Clinic, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, expert care for your urgent medical needs—including prompt and effective treatment for cuts, scrapes, and open wounds.

Our experienced urgent care team is skilled in managing all types of lacerations, from minor surface cuts to deeper wounds involving muscle or other tissues. Upon your arrival, we ensure a rapid assessment to determine the severity of the wound and develop a personalized treatment plan. Our providers use advanced wound cleaning and sterilization techniques to reduce the risk of infection, and we offer a range of closure options, such as sutures (stitches), skin adhesives, or medical staples. We prioritize your comfort, providing local anesthesia for a pain-free experience when needed.
