If you get a deep cut can you just glue it together?
Question:
Answers:
super glue was designed to quickly patch up soldiers on the battlefield steralise the wound first
Sure can but make sure its very clean first.
Stings a bit though!
im sure u could but its not a good idea! it would get infected!
Well, once I cut myself badly and the doctors used a type of medical glue instead of stitches.
I doubt its a do-it-yourself, though.
Yes, but there is a special medical glue for this. Not something to do yourself, I'm afraid.
Though I have heard of guitarists gluing the calluses back onto their fingertips with SuperGlue if they tore off during a show and there was no other way.
if you are talking about a cut on your body, absolutely not, the glue would most likely be poisonous... splurt... splurt...
sounds like a good idea to me
Who do you think you are humpty dumpty.
You'd be better to sew it up. Use some good fishing line and a strong needle though. Even better, go to A & E.
Hi found this to answer your question:
Have you ever heard of gluing a cut together? The first time I heard about this I was somewhat shocked. I was selling a product called Miracle Glue at trade shows. I had people telling all the outrageous stories possible about the origins of cyanoacrylates (superglue) - Miracle Glue is in the same category. The prevailing story was that superglue had been invented in the Vietnam era for soldiers. It was more effective than bandages in sealing up a cut or wound closure. I researched this pretty thoroughly and found that although these types of glues were used in Vietnam and later for suturing wounds, “super glue” was “discovered” much earlier.
Suprised me

umm no u will get gain green or more worse a bad infection
NO! If its thats bad, you'd need stitches, pain relief and a shot
Hhaha have you been watching meet the barkers and have been taking too much advice from travis barker
Not a good Idea.
get a plaster.
or if its too deep, go to hospital!!
Get stiches.
Glue will just make it worse.

I wouldn't, I had a deep gash just under my eyebrow after I banged my head, went to the hospital and they cleaned it and glued it with medical adhesive, they thought it would heal better than with stitches. Stung pretty badly when they did it but it only took a couple of minutes, I had to keep it dry for a day or two and now there's no scar at all. I was just going to clean it and put a butterfly paper stitch on it and hope for the best. Glad I didn't, you can get really nasty infection and especially if it's on your hand as it comes into contact with all sorts. If it's not too deep they might just butterfly or stitch it, but have it done properly! (p.s. they'll probably ask when you had your last tetanus jab)
Well placed in the do-it yourself section. Yes you can if the wound is clean -- so have some Betadine around; no alcohol!. It is an epoxy, though I don't know the technique or composition of the epoxy. I'd try butterfly clips first if I had them. If it was a deep cut with something rusty or from the soil then a tetanus shot is in order (good for 10yrs).
super glue was developed for american soldiers in vietnam as a quick way to repair wounds,
its better than leaving a serious injury open but not a substitute for stitches out of the war situation
Provided it is really just a deep superficial cut... yes, you can. Should you?? That should be its own question. Having worked in numerous professional kitchens, I can attest to the simplicity of alcohol pads, crazy glue, band aides and rubber gloves.
As a measure of first aide, crazy glue works wonders to close flesh wounds... it by NO MEANS should be a substitute for urgent medical care if required. You still run the risk of infection, but you're really not likely to poison yourself with a dab of super glue. It really doesn't sting when applied either. It works especially well in stopping bleeding on cuts to the fingers and knuckles that normally would take substantially longer to stop with pressure and bandage alone.
deep cut in what !!!!!!!!!!... ??
Yeah sure, go ahead!
