WHAT IS IT?
The removal of stitches (sutures) or surgical clips is a simple procedure that involves taking out the closure material from a wound once it has sufficiently healed. This step is essential to avoid complications such as infection or permanent marks. Our team of nurses quickly and gently removes your stitches or clips.
FOR WHO?
This service is for you if you have stitches or staples that need to be removed following surgery, an emergency intervention, or a procedure at the clinic.

Recommendations for scar care
The healing time varies depending on the location of the wound: about 5 to 7 days for the face, 7 to 10 days for the torso and arms, and 10 to 14 days for the legs. Adhere to the timeline indicated by your healthcare professional. If you notice any signs of infection before your appointment (increasing redness, drainage, fever), consult quickly.

What our patients say
I had an exceptional experience at the Nios Clinic! From the moment I arrived, I felt listened to and taken care of with professionalism. The team is warm, attentive, and truly takes the time to explain each step clearly. I recommend them for their humanity and professionalism.

Hello, I sincerely want to thank you for your exceptional service. You were remarkably quick and efficient, but above all, you took the time to provide me with truly personalized service. Your professionalism is immediately felt, but so is your human side, and that makes all the difference.
Chantal Dufresne
Very quick same-day appointment. Exceptional service from Nurse Practitioner (NP) Amélie and the staff at reception. She takes the time to listen carefully and makes referrals accordingly. Afterwards, ensures rapid orthopedics care and follows up to ensure I had the appointment. I highly recommend and will certainly return. More than reasonable costs.
