There is a lot of confusion on this matter. There is a Crazy Glue
analog that IS used as a powerful medical adhesive. However, it isn't
exactly the same (it uses a different but related compound), and the
little ampules cost a fortune (around $15 each). Obviously the medical
cyanoacrylate formulation is probably going to be a significantly better
choice than Crazy Glue since it was engineered for the task of bonding
tissue in a manner that won't cause injury.
