Do you keep Krazy Glue in your 1st Aid Box??

[Scott Aleckson]

"Super Glue" or CA (cyanoacrylate) has been used in the veterinary
world for many years. It's especially popular in canine first aid kits
and is used to close cuts to the pads on dog's feet. Long been used
with SAR and K-9 dogs and also has a long history in the field with
sled dogs. As you know, medical advances move ahead much faster in the
veterinary world because they don't have as strict rules with the FDA.
It was just a matter of time before we started using CA on people.

N E W Y O R K, July 5 — Using Krazy Glue is getting a little

[Dave]

Its been available for use in the local ER for about 3-4 years now.
Sterile superglue, marketed under the brand name "Dermabond" is useable
for closing simple, shallow lacerations in areas that do become subject
to undue strain (such as the face). It also doesnt leave suture scars
alongside the original laceration. As for OTC superglue from the
hardware store, its not sterile, and may have additives that may prolong
healing.

I guess I shouldn't ask that it be available in "caulk gun" size tubes
then....

well, i had a mechanic friend tat would use it for cuts on his
hands (no band-aids to get covered in grease), gee, wonder why
the local ER didn't use some super glue to fix my knuckle after i
removed it at work......, might have worked better than
steri-strips

I may be wrong but I believe that CA was first used during the Vietnam War
to close wounds .Isn't it funny that 30 some years later it has been
"discovered " again
What is old becomes new again...........

I don't know if it still is, but I am pretty sure Eastman 910, which
is the original glue in the 'krazy glue' class of glues was approved
by the FDA for gluing skin at one point. It was used extensively in
plastic surgery.

My daughter recently tripped and sustained an incision from
sideswiping a metal piece of furniture on the way down.

Rather than suturing the cut, the ER doc used a similar product to tac
the outside points together. It's been relatively trouble-free.
