A deep cut can take up to 10-15 minutes to stop bleeding without stitches if proper pressure is applied.

Estimated Duration: 15 minutes

For a deep cut to stop bleeding without stitches, apply firm, steady pressure with a clean cloth or bandage for 10-15 minutes. Elevating the injured area above the heart can help reduce blood flow. Avoid removing the pressure to check the wound, as this can disrupt clotting. If bleeding persists beyond 15 minutes or is severe, seek medical attention immediately. Keeping the wound clean and covered afterward helps prevent infection. Proper first aid and monitoring are crucial for healing deep cuts without professional intervention.
