Yep, great stuff; also good for cracked skin around finger nail.
From surgical product... “New Skin” is a cyanoacrylate isomer along with an antibiotic.
Great for mechanic’s who get little cuts all the time, and also in medical corpsmen’s kits. For major cuts there is something called “Thrombin” sheets of which “clot” the cut flesh and join it together temorarily or over the stitches/staples and protects from bacterial infection.
It sounds great but Im not going to get my hopes up until it actually hits the market. There was a product that I had read about quite a few years ago that was going to revolutionize first aid and save all kinds of lives. It was basically a type of people caulk. It supposedly sealed wounds instantly and had a pain killer in it too. They couldnt get approval for people right away but it was guaranteed to be available soon. Until then they could sell it to vets for use on horses.
15+ years and never heard of it again.
I could have used that this morning. Got out of bed and went to walk my German Shepherd. Before I was out the door she saw a squirrel and took off. I was attached to her with the leash. She pulled me off the stairs and onto a pile of sheet metal. I guess I was lucky to only get seven stiches but having some of that glue would have saved a trip to the hospital.
Super glue works well for small cuts.................
It was a big deep cut. About 5 inches long.
Yeah, that’s ER size..........................
