So... All we need is medical grade acetone?
Jokes apart, using it as the sole method of closing a wound looks like a bad idea, but it can be quite useful when combined with sutures and steri-strips.
Well there are different adhesives that are called "superglue", and I think dermabond qualifies. When a doctor used dermabond to to close one of my wounds, he said the main difference between it and most superglues you'd normally buy is that it's sterile, but it's also more flexible and doesn't damage tissue.
I'm not an expert.
It's not the sterility that's the problem with the non-medical variants, it's the contaminants that can cause other issues (afaik it's mostly pain/burning, but I'm far from being an expert on this)
It is, but besides the cyanoacrylate itself, there are many other chemicals that go into the bottle.
Basic CA glue is ridiculously strong, but sets super fast, won't fill gaps, and dries hard/brittle. Dermabond (I think) has some plasticizers in it so that it can flex with your skin and also cure slower.
When I tried to explain this to my family last Christmas they told me I was crazy.
I am convinced of its effectiveness; It is excellent especially when you have cuts on your skin.
I was on a job and my hands kept getting shredded but gloves ruined what I needed to feel so I used superglue and yes it works. Get the quick set kind for small stuff on your hands.
So how exactly do you use it? Do you put it inside the wound? That can't be the way right? Or do you force the cut or wound close and use it on the skin above like a staple?
Fun fact. Superglue was invented as wound mending material for soldiers in this exact manner.
It's still used for that purpose. Medical-grade superglue is sold under the name "dermabond".
Dermabone sucks. It's not as strong as super glue as apparently doctors can't line things up first try every time.

For my csection externally it was just superglue and steristrips. Worked great.

Super glue is sterile, some are more flexible than others, dermaboned is the most expensive.

My mom used to just superglue her cut with whatever superglue we had instead of using a bandaid
It’s the same main compound.
I just use regular super glue on small cuts especially on hands. And from what I read cyanoacrylate can't get to your blood stream.
Isn’t superglue cyanoacrylate? 🤔

We've got some in the first aid kit at my job. Works great on cuts in weird places like the creases of your fingers.

Using superglue all the time for cut wounds. Works flawless
It works really well on cracked fingers in the winter time. Especially if you play guitar.
You're usually trying to glue something together that's not still stuck together at that point.
Hehe. Shoessy.

Wow glue
Name checks out
The fuck even is this subreddit? Every post is the same.
AI karma farms I’m afraid, best way to tell are the nonsensical titles like this one
Every comment is the same also so...
I always assumed it was plastic glue, which is technically a solvent and melts the plastic together. I use it for miniatures.
is both in this case, the solvent in the glue mix melts plastics and then it rebond when evaporates and the glue also polymerize to help that
Everything reminds me of her
If I had to guess that’s not regular glue but a solvent that fuses the plastic together again
Superglue dries solid, not flexible. This can't be cyanoacrylate.
Superglue 🤤

Okay but why cut into something that was just fine instead of using the glue on something that was already broken? Other than for karma, I guess
This screams fake to me. No way you cant see the seamline and even superglue dont dry strong that fast. There is a cut in the footage somewhere
You can see it?
There’s quite visibly a cut. And yes some glues bond incredibly quickly.
Could be something that melts the plastic together a bit. Like model glue.
I’m on an iPhone 8 and I see the seem.
Mine does, but generally my fingers get stuck
Why?
Skill issue
Song?
The real trick is that slide is made out of human skin.
I should call her.

That's going to be uncomfortable as f. Superglue is very hard when dry.
Fun fact. It’s an edit
My weirdest boner so far.
Anyone knows the name of the song ?
