Welcome to Closing the Gap: an educational site dedicated to improving expertise of both novice and experienced health care practitioners dealing with acute wound care.
This blog features how-to videos on suturing techniques commonly used for acute traumatic lacerations treated in an emergency room, urgent care, or family practice office environment.
Update June 24, 2025:
Dr. Brian Lin, creator of LacerationRepair.com and a brilliant emergency physician, educator, and father, died suddenly earlier this month. We are all completely devastated.
He was my emergency medicine colleague and friend, and I helped him get this website going many years ago. Brian asked me to maintain it, so I’ll do my best to keep it going — and add a tribute to its creator in the coming months. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
