They use it in the hospital they just colour it purple and call it Dermabond and charge ungodly amounts of money for it.

Interesting to know. I figured there had to be a difference (other than price). I guess the moral of the story is that if you have sensitive skin use the fancy super glue...
What about the CA that you have to add an accelerator to. I wonder if that would be less burny?

Thanked: 1As a remote paramedic,(Get to do more stuff than a regular paramedic) I can tell you that the main risk of home sealing a major wound is the risk of infection.
That's the reason they scrub lacerations with providine before suturing or sealing with dermabond
