Simple Laceration Repair with Skin Glue

Found out I was allergic to that 😭 found out the hard way after a surgery. Iv never reacted to that before

Had this done, hurt like a bitch but looked brand new and could barely tell i got a cut on my toe after it was healed

I had this done recently, however I work in the back of tj Maxx sorting the truck and a box ripped the glue off

This is colored super glue. That's my go to.

Glue NEVER works

Tip: Instead of touching near the wound to see if its dried, touch some to the back of your hand on the glove and test that area not the wound 😜

poke your finger on the wound to ensure it has cured!!

Medical glue is worthless just use super glue

I’ve used this once on a cut on my finger and it didn’t work at all. Blood was leaking from under it and the glue all fell off before I left the hospital.

Great idea, unfortunately we found out my wife is terribly allergic to it. Nothing like having hives and irritation at your incisions after surgery.

Remember when my daughter split her lip and they glued it at an urgent care. Got a bill for $7k later that week.
Fuckin stupid.

That stuff burns like holy hell.

I prefer this method over stitches. Leaves way less of a scar. Heals wonderfully. Some surgeons will batch you when you with their needle work😩

I use Loctite, clean the cut with soap and water a spritz of disinfectant then Loctite. I keep an eye out for excessive redness or swelling and go to urgent care if needed.

so glass shards come out also lol medical people are getting lazy these days

Superglue is a dollar!!

expensive super glue

Cool

Sliced my hand open at work and got it glued like this. The glue startes coming off after a day. Don't know why dr thought it would work on the inside of the palm where I sweat the most. I ended up just using tape and bandaids from the pharmacy until it healed.

❤❤❤❤

Need some in my kit

One time I smashed my finger in a door hinge, the solution was them to glue it up. One week later got infection and I ripped the glue off.

Super glue

does it burn though?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My sister had to get her eyebrow glued back together, and even the doctor said the glue is very painful and she was crying

I want to try this with meat glue 😅

They used this on my eyebrow to reduce scarring and so they didn’t have to shave my eyebrows to stitch

If the patient has a PSI then what do we do. is it hard or easy to treat

Wow you know… i think i have this at home its called “liquid bandage” wow and you can get it at your local dollar store 😮😮😮 ThE mOrE yOu kNoW

Man I need someone to send me some lol

For most major surgeries they’ll suture then apply the Dermabond on top as a final securement. They also can use steroid strips and mastisol which is far cheaper. They have a special orthopedic version of the Dermabond pen that comes with tape and it’s very strong.

And if you had an idiot as Doc there glue them self with his gloves on the patient!
True story 🤣

is that same as dermabond?

I make this glue! Possibly not that product type but this is octyl cyanoacrylate, a biocompatible, low toxicity “super glue”. Regular super glue is ethyl cyanoacrylate and may or may not have additives to enhance its properties.

This stuff never worked

Glue in place of sutures or staples only works in areas where there is limited skin stretching. So thick areas much like the back can become problematic. Also only helpful qith smaller insicions than that, that exceeds a 3 inch length.

now i know what the purple stuff on my stomach was after my surgery lol

This stuff is awesome until you're allergic to it 😭

That stuff definitely burnsssss

this ( and dissolvable stitches) is what they used to close my skin after i got my port removed!

My kids had a gerbil which once was "slit open" by a cat's claw (at least that was our explanation). I used nail glue to close the wound and mouse Felix survived and got older than the average gerbil :-D

Steri straps should be used as well

I had an allergic reaction to this on my last surgery! Be careful!

That ampule breaking was so satisfying 😭

When I was under 10 I ended up with a laceration wound on right sqaure on top of my head.. Doctor decided it wasn't bad enough for stitches so he had used this "magic glue" substance on it and somehow a minute later everything was back to normal. To this day I have wondered how it even worked and what it was.. this was very helpful!

This is much better than the superglue I use for cuts 😂😂😂

Egg whites

This was used on my corner of my eye, had two 3cm lacerations and now they are almost unnoticeable

Is it OK to use CA glue?
