[Closed] What is it with plaster/bandaid manufactuers

Don't you get mummy to do it for you?

Because only girls with fingernails use plasters.... Real men use electrical tape.

pfft, real men use superglue.

Wasn't superglue invented for use in the field in Vietnam to glue people back up?

Or is that one of those myths I continue to chose to believe?

Daddy should have taught you to use a knife responsibly! 😉

CA glue was in veterinary use for mending bone, hide, and tortoise shell by at least the early 1970s. The inventor of cyanoacrylates, Harry Coover, said in 1966 that a CA spray was used in the Vietnam War to retard bleeding in wounded soldiers until they could be brought to a hospital. Butyl cyanoacrylate has been used medically since the 1970s outside the US, but due to its potential to irritate the skin, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not approve its use as a medical adhesive until 1998 with Dermabond.[10] Research has demonstrated the use of cyanoacrylate in wound closure as being safer and more functional than traditional suturing (stitches).[11] The adhesive has demonstrated superior performance in the time required to close a wound, incidence of infection (suture canals through the skin's epidermal, dermal, and subcutaneous fat layers introduce extra routes of contamination),[11] and final cosmetic appearance.[12][13]
