Super glue spray was used in the Vietnam War to close wounds on the battlefield.
And it’s sometimes in first aid kits at places where slicing wounds can be common, like barbershops.
Still shouldn't use random superglue from the arts+crafts section, though. Sterility aside there's different types of cyanoacrylate. I don't think any are actually toxic but some are definitely less (as in zero) irritating to tissue.
It was Sunday and all Urgent care is not 24 hours in my area. I actually waited so long in the ER that one of the Urgent Cares opened, but at that point I was already inside and triaged. If I knew I would wait inside for another 2 hours, I would have left.
Do you have Urgent Care near you? They could have done some stitches.
I'd probably just super glue the wound closed myself.
I uh...don't think that's sanitary.
A 1986 independent study suggests that cyanoacrylate can be safer and more functional for wound closure than traditional suturing.
