I use Super Glue frequently to seal splits in my fingertips. I've used it on larger cuts as well. Before using, make sure the wound is clean - you might want to put some Tincture of iodine on the wound as well, which will not interfere with the glue's ability to seal the wound, like an antiseptic ointment will. Then, pinch both sides together and apply the Super Glue - hold the wound together until dry. Do not introduce Super Glue into the body, which could cause problems and even poisoning. My kit also contains sutures, butterfly bandages, clotting agent/bandages and a fifth of Scotch. Don't forget the Scotch.

In 1968 when I was 6 weeks old, the surgeon used superglue to close the incision he made in me to fix a bad stomach valve. Worked good then, don’t see why it wouldn’t now.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

If you’re about to bleed to death, you need a tourniquet before you need krazy glue. Usually multiples. I carry 2 for a limb and prefer more

I have the glue that is made for that. It is called New Skin .As mentioned above it comes in a small bottle with a small brush applicator.
I used some this week on a cut . You need to keep reapplying it as it will come loose at the edges. take off the old put on some new.

We superglued a big gash on my boy's forehead one time. It was a prize he got from pestering one of his younger sisters too much. Worked great and didn't leave a scar.

I bought a small bottle today for my kit. They use it in hospitals.
What do you think? I think anybody having first aid administered upon them, by you, is in dire need of another person.

Original cyanoacrylates were sold by Kodak to Locite. Later formulations have molecular additions that reduce their toxicity.(butyl and octyl) are derivatives used in the ones sold for medical closure. All are rapidly polymerized by moisture in long chain polymers. adhesive is superior in time required to close wounds, and infection prevention. (not including topical antibiotics). Large areas can cause chemical burns. Sensitization to fumes can occur resulting in flu symptoms, and extreme cases asthma. the octyl derivative is preferred. Analogs are used on a regular basis in dental work Biggest downside is shelf life which is short, year at most good advice I use Super Glue frequently to seal splits in my fingertips. I've used it on larger cuts as well. Before using, make sure the wound is clean - you might want to put some Tincture of iodine on the wound as well, which will not interfere with the glue's ability to seal the wound, like an antiseptic ointment will.

I run a lathe. Peel a nail back to the middle of your thumb.
Superglue it flat and it won’t catch on stuff.
For real cuts .......Zip Stich.......$$$$ but they work.......

My dogs would occasionally chew on each other. Never had to make a vet trip after packing the wound with nitrofurazone and wrapping with vet wrap. Cyanoacrylate was used for split pads and broken nails. I only carried a dog first aid kit. Never used it on myself but wouldn’t hesitate. Oh, I carried a sterile syringe and sterile water to irrigate first.

They glued my leg & chest incisions after I had my open heart surgery four years ago. They DO NOT use industrial-grade superglue...

Someone taking care of my father kicked a rock and split a toe.
The emergency room put a drop of super glue on the toe.
I had to pay a $2k medical bill.
An insurance company could have negotiated that down.

Not practical.
When you need it, it's rock hard.
Much better options.

Yeah, but just wait until you get older.

I take medication daily that makes me bleed profusely from a relatively minor wound. Not ordinary bleeding, but running off and dripdripdripdripdrip and making a puddle. I use and have used Woundseal and Bleedstop on wounds that won't stop with continued applied pressure. My doctor told me that the popular quikclot is more or less powdered clay and is just only slightly better than bleeding out. And I'm aware of how dangerous a tourniquet can be in untrained hands. It's use is for someone knocking on death's door only. Most all wounds I've ever dealt with could be fixed with a common band aid or needed a professional suture job. I'm afraid the damned internet spreads more BS info besides all the hooey on reloading
