Can I get urgent stitches at home in Maresme?
In selected cases, yes. The wound must be assessed first by photo, location, timing and symptoms. Some cuts can be cleaned and closed privately, while deeper, contaminated or high-risk wounds may require emergency hospital care.
How do I know if a cut needs stitches?
A cut may need stitches if the edges stay open, bleeding continues, the wound is deep, or it is in an area where movement keeps it open. Send a clear photo and we will guide you on the safest next step.
Do you remove stitches in Barcelona?
Yes. Stitches removal can be arranged at a private medical clinic in Barcelona. Depending on availability and location, stitches removal may also be possible at home in selected Maresme areas.
Do you offer wound checks after surgery?
Yes. We can assess selected post-surgical wounds, dressing concerns, stitches, redness, discharge, delayed healing and scar-related questions. Some cases may need to be reviewed by the original surgical team or a hospital.
Can you treat infected wounds at home?
Mild concerns can sometimes be assessed privately, but signs such as fever, spreading redness, pus, bad smell, severe pain or rapid worsening may require urgent hospital care and should not be delayed.
Do you treat bites or scratches?
We can assess selected bites and scratches, but animal or human bites often require special care, tetanus review and sometimes antibiotics. High-risk bites may need emergency hospital assessment.
Do you treat children?
Some minor wounds may be suitable for private assessment, but children with deep wounds, facial wounds, bites, heavy bleeding, severe pain or anxiety may be safer in a pediatric emergency setting.
How quickly should a wound be closed?
Timing matters. Some wounds can be closed within several hours, but older wounds, contaminated wounds or bites may not be safe to close immediately. Send the time of injury with the photo.
Do you cover Canet de Mar, Sant Pol de Mar, Calella and Blanes?
Yes. Home visits may be available in Alella, El Masnou, Premià de Mar, Vilassar de Mar, Mataró, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Arenys de Mar, Canet de Mar, Sant Pol de Mar, Calella, Pineda de Mar, Blanes and nearby coastal areas depending on availability, travel distance and clinical suitability.
How much does private wound care cost?
Clinic appointments start from €80. Home visits in Maresme start from €150, and urgent stitches at home in selected cases start from €250. Final price depends on distance, urgency, time and wound complexity.
Should I go directly to hospital instead?
Go to emergency care if there is heavy bleeding, exposed tendon or bone, loss of movement, loss of sensitivity, severe pain, wound near the eye, deep facial wound, fever, pus, bad smell, suspected fracture or a large/deep burn.
Do you offer aesthetic closure?
When private treatment is medically appropriate, we pay attention to wound edge alignment, tension control, suture technique and aftercare to support the best possible scar outcome.
Why do you ask for a photo before booking?
The photo helps us decide whether private care is appropriate and safe. It avoids unnecessary travel, helps estimate complexity and allows us to recommend emergency care when that is the safer option.
Can you treat patients under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
For safety reasons, patients who are significantly under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs, unable to cooperate, or unable to provide reliable information about the injury may be advised to attend emergency hospital care instead of private home treatment.
For urgent wound care, the safest first step is to send a clear photo, your exact location, when the injury happened and whether there is bleeding, pain, fever, redness, swelling or loss of sensitivity.
