I think the product that is used in the medical industry is called Dermabond.
It has a slightly different makeup to regular crazy/super glue so as not to
cause chemical burns. I have heard that some doctors do use the regular stuff
due to the excesive cost of Dermabond. Ive heard costs of $75-$100 for the
same volume as a crazy glue tube.
