Suturing wounds is considered one of the fundamental medical procedures in the field of emergency medicine techniques, as it represents a crucial step in controlling bleeding, protecting tissues, reducing the risk of infection and complications, and accelerating the recovery process. At Al-Mustaqbal University, students in the Department of Emergency Medicine Techniques receive intensive practical training in wound suturing skills, equipping them to handle emergency cases efficiently within hospitals and healthcare centers.
The university’s training program includes comprehensive stages, starting with wound assessment, which involves determining its depth, the type of damaged tissue, and the level of contamination, in addition to evaluating the patient’s overall health condition. This is followed by selecting the appropriate instruments and sutures for each case, and cleaning and sterilizing wounds according to precise medical protocols, before applying various suturing techniques—whether simple or complex—depending on the type and size of the wound.
In this way, graduates of Al-Mustaqbal University are able to excel in managing deep and lacerated wounds, ensuring rapid response and minimizing complications, reflecting their vital role in strengthening the emergency and healthcare system in hospitals and health centers.Al-Mustaqbal University – The first university in Iraq.
