Surgical Skin Glue
Captions available
The idea
Surgical skin glue is a sterile adhesive that can close skin edges in place of sutures or staples.
In practice
It holds the edges together so the wound heals by primary intention, and it is chosen by the surgeon for suitable wounds.
Where people slip
Glue needs a dry, well-aligned wound edge, so it is applied only when the surgeon is ready.
