it depends on their location and the type of laceration. a facial laceration (staples should not be used here) repaired with sutures should be removed in about five days but if they are in a place of tension it may be longer. a scalp laceration with staples can will be 7-10 days again depending on the size/depth of the wound. feet or abdominal lacerations may require sutures to remain in place of ten days. so. call the er for patient-specific instructions.
