They actually make commercial devices nowadays that don't use needles. Its a plastic device you place over the wound, and tighten with what appear to be zip ties. Really nice devices for in a pinch on your own as you don't have to worry about messing with needles. Suturing is a skill that takes a good bit of time to learn the finesse of, and you may not have access to anesthetics. In a situation where I may not have access to reliable antibiotics, I'm less inclined to want to introduce more risk of infection.

if you're at home with your full med kit of suture options - something like this isn't the time or place >> you have plenty of antiseptic & some numbing jell go with something more semi-permanent like a couple of stitches or staples ....
