The Wonders of Miracle Glue in Wound Closure
Summary:

While selling Miracle Glue at trade shows, customers shared fascinating stories about the origins of cyanoacrylates, commonly known as superglue?"and Miracle Glue falls under this category too. One popular tale suggested that superglue was developed during the Vietnam War for soldiers, proving more efficient than bandages for wound closure.

Have you ever thought about using glue to seal a cut? Initially, this idea surprised me. While selling a product called Miracle Glue at trade shows, I heard countless tales about the origins of cyanoacrylates, commonly known as superglue?"and Miracle Glue is part of this category. A popular story was that it was invented for soldiers during the Vietnam War, as it was more effective than bandages for closing wounds. My research revealed that these glues were indeed used in Vietnam, but they were first discovered earlier.
Cyanoacrylates were accidentally discovered by researchers at Eastman Kodak in the 1940s and again in the 1950s while working on rifle scopes. These early versions were ethyl and methyl cyanoacrylates. In the 1970s, n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and then 2-octyl cyanoacrylate were developed, with the latter gaining FDA approval and being marketed as products like Traumaseal and Dermabond. The butyl and octyl variants are less irritating to the skin, although the earlier versions also work effectively.
Here's an intriguing story shared with me a few years ago:

Jeff's Story:
_"I purchased a small bottle of Miracle Glue at a gun show in Portland, thinking it would be useful for quick repairs during hunting and fishing trips. It ended up saving my trip. I was on a solo fly-in canoe trip to Quetico Provincial Forest in Northern Ontario, far from civilization. I enjoy these trips for solitude and perspective, even though some say I'm crazy._
_While casting for trophy Northern Pike, I caught a big one, but it jerked out of my grip, thrashing around the canoe. In the chaos, I accidentally sliced my thigh with a fillet knife, leaving a deep 7-inch gash. Alone and far from help, I remembered reading about medical uses for glue._
_I decided to try Miracle Glue. I cleaned the wound, dried it, and glued it shut using some hemostats. It worked perfectly, stopping the bleeding. I applied a thin line of glue on top for extra hold, then covered it with gauze for the rest of the trip. The wound healed without much infection, and after the glue wore off, I treated it with antiseptic cream. It turned out just fine._
_Great job with the glue!" ?"Jeff J._

Cyanoacrylate glues can be handy for small cuts and even dry skin on fingers, effectively sealing splits until they heal. While I can't medically advise using glue this way, stories like Jeff’s highlight the potential of these products.
Cyanoacrylates offer an interesting option, especially when speed and convenience are essential.
