Surgical suture (stitches) removal is a common nursing skill that you will perform for patients who have received sutures due to an injury or surgery. People sometimes ask if nurses remove sutures. The answer is yes, I’ve removed stitches many times.

This nursing skill video will demonstrate the following:

-How to remove surgical sutures (stitches). This is demonstrated on a simple interrupted suture type.

-Supplies used to remove sutures.

-How to open supplies and don sterile gloves

-Common types of sutures you’ll encounter as a nurse, including simple interrupted sutures, vertical mattress sutures, horizontal mattress sutures, simple continuous sutures, continuous blanket sutures (also called Ford interlocking), and interrupted cruciate (cross-shaped sutures).

-Examining the patient’s wound for signs of infection.

-The importance of properly disposing of sutures and completing your nursing documentation.

You’ll always want to confirm that the doctor has ordered the suture removal, verify the patient, obtain consent, and explain the procedure.

Suture removal is typically not painful, but in some cases, an order for pain medication may be available for the patient.
