I have heard this mentioned before regarding super glue, is that a nick name for some fancy shaving or first aid medical ointment or is it actually those little super glue tubes for fixing broken items around the house? If it is indeed just super glue is that safe to pour into an open cut?

It is indeed just super glue. I have heard it was developed during/for WWII for treating lacerations in the field as opposed to stitches. Originally Posted by planetocean

WWII, oh ok. The first I heard of this stuff is from a TV advert in the 1970’s which showed a crane lifting an elephant off the ground by 2 metal plates with a squirt of the ‘super glue’ between them instead I guess of a large shackle. The catch phrase was “one drop holds a ton”.
As long as it holds my face together I am fine.

The story that I heard was that two people at Kodak were testing the optical properties of some materials. To do this they put the material between two pieces of glass. Anyway, when they finished their test they couldn't get the pieces of glass apart. Someone figured out that this could make a good adhesive and Eastman 910 (the first cyanoacrylate glue) was born. As they say, the rest is history.
