They glued my leg & chest incisions after I had my open heart surgery four years ago. They DO NOT use industrial-grade superglue...
Who is "they" ?
Probably the CT surgeon who did his cabg and his resident/NP/PA/1st assist who did his vein harvest and closure.
The product most commonly used is dermabond (an ethicon/j&j product) but there are others. Dermabond has more elasticity and flexibility than standard superglue, but superglue will certainly work for minor lacerations - rock climbers have been using it for years.
