grassi Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I just cut my thumb badly. Happens often when you chop food very fast with some sharpen knives to chefs, cooks and home cooks. That thing didn't want to stop bleeding and I had to finish to prepare the food, so I put some antibiotic cream inside the wound and I closed with super glue. Works like a charm so far (rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 That's one of the greatest uses for super glue, I have a serious problem with the soles of my feet splitting, I love to be barefooted, no matter how rocky the ground is, and am constantly splitting my feet, super glue in the split fixes all.

CA2OR Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 my grandfather keeps superglue in his pocket for just such occasions. Swears by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 As I understand it superglue is actually used in the medical field for this same purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 They have been using it in the Veteranarian field for a long time and I have seen a similar product in the Urgent care's here. There are only 3 levels of wound care...1. Lick it and apply pressure, keep looking at it..2. Electrical or duct tape..3. If the tape slides off, lick it again and apply super glue!

Emerald525 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 They have something very similar in the medical field. It's called dermabond which is basically glorified superglue but it is sterile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Max-GTE Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just make sure when you apply it you are holding the wound closed. In my youth I once held a cut open while applying superglue...felt like I had a splinter in my finger for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 superglue was invented during WWII(1942) and was used frequently for suture-less surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I keep super glue in my first aide kits, both for people and dogs. Its great for wound care. I also have used it to coat the pads on dog feet when I'm running them on particularly hot days over outdoor agility courses. The equipment gets hot and the super glue helps to protect the pad.....

Michael7979 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Stevie Ray Vaughan used to play his guitar so hard and for such along time his fingers would bleed. He used super glue on them so he could continue to play!! He probably had no fingerprints!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
