Sutures should be taken out within 7-10 days from the date the wound has been stitched. If the sutures are taken out in time, the removal procedure will not cause a lot of pain to the patient. Removing Simple sutures is easy: cut the sutures from where they have been uncovered. Pull the thread out gently, holding it from the knot with the help of a clamp or forceps. If the sutures are continuous and are many in number, the procedure is a little different. You need to cut the suture in several places and remove portions of the stitch. Do this by grabbing the end with a clam or forceps.
