"Any wound that you intend to suture should be cleaned, re-cleaned and then cleaned again. I can’t stress this enough."
"If a wound is already suppurating, producing pus, or had debris in it that cannot be removed it should be left open. In addition, animal and human bites should not be sutured. Closure of these wounds will cause more harm than good and can lead to septicaemia, gangrene and even death."
