It's generally not the most advisable thing in the world, but super glue is great for awkward/deep/clean cuts. Especially if you're an American with poor healthcare.
Recently stabbed my hand quite deep in the muscle just below my index finger. Deep but clean, bled like hell and almost impossible to wrap. Just wash it clean, dry it as best you can and dab the outside closed, try not to get any in the cut itself. Works wonders, kept it neatly closed while I was sleeping and even managed to shower the next day without it opening up. After 24 hours it'll peel off pretty cleanly too (if you didn't go overboard). Let it air out for as long as you can to help it heal and only reapply when necessary. For me I just did two days, when it happened and the day after, and it was clean enough to heal closed a bit and only require light wrapping afterwards.
Not the first time I've done this and sure as shit won't be the last.
You do know that they actually use super glue in the hospitals to keep certain types of cuts closed. Right? Like that was one of the original purposes of super glue if I recall correctly. Super glue is absolutely fantastic for nice clean cuts that are too narrow or deep for actual stitches. It's also great for very jagged cuts that stitches won't hold together. You can also use it in conjunction with stitches to hold together a decent amount of cuts.
Yeah, but like most things of this nature, there's a bit of a difference between medical grade and what you grabbed off the shelf at 7/11 while bleeding out. Still does in a pinch, but making it clear this is not, uh, proper medical advice.
