Had a surgeon one time tell me that the difference between surgical glue and super glue was about $25 a bottle.

I cut my right leg off one time and superglued it back on....
LOL, well almost. I was helping a friend cut trees off his house a couple of days after Katrina hit NO. We were just north of NO, across the lake. I cut a small twisted sapling and it grabbed the saw and swung it into my right thigh. The cut was to the bone and 7-8" long.
Nowhere to go so I cut the shredded tissue off clean, rinsed it out with 4-5 different things, and cleaned out the debris. I then superglued inside, waited 20 min and superglued the top side. Placed butterfly strips, bandaged, and back to work. It never even got a lil red, and healed with almost no scar.
Superglue is good stuff.

I keep a tube of super glue in my emergency kit for exactly this reason.
Years ago, I was driving T-Posts in an area about 30 minutes and through a usually-dry / sometimes slightly wet creek bed away from civilization (weak to no cell phone coverage most of the time). I pulled the T-Post driver up too far and it came off the T-Post and directly into my forehead. After the stars stopped spinning and I got my feet back under me, I reached up and felt my head. Bleeding pretty good from a gash in my head - right at the hairline. Cleaned it up with some wet-wipes I had in the glove compartment, super-glued it shut, and went back to the T-Posts driving.
Good stuff.
All the best,
Glenn
