Can you use Krazy Glue instead of stitches?

Answer by  Wade (168)

Krazy glue can be used in the place of stitches. In fact, super glue was invented as a quick way to close wounds on the battlefield. As long as the cut is clean, Krazy Glue will hold the cut closed.

You cannot use Krazy Glue instead of stitches, but there is a medically appropriate glue that can be used on the skin in place of stitches in many medical situations.

No. If you don't want the typical stitches, opt for the "liquid" stitches that are simply painted on. However, this is not recommended on all areas of the body. Krazy glue can cause further damage and the burning will be quite painful.

Please do not attempt this. Medical grade glues are used now, but only for superficial wounds. Krazy glue can cause chemical burns and make the situation worse.
