Yesterday I went to the hospital for a really deep cut and they stitched the wound with superglue instead of regular stitches. Do you know why this was? Why wasnt it stapled or stitched with a needle?
It was on my foot, about 2 inches across and 1 inch deep.
Thanks

Glue works best for the healing process and also reduces the chance of infection

glue is easier and quicker to use and is often used when not deep enough to require stitches

Superglue was invented for openheart surgery and is safe to use on all sorts of cuts. Don't worry about it. It's just easier to use and it heals faster.

One of my old cutting "friends" cut her arm real bad and was superglued up because the wound was so wide (5 inches) that stitches were out of the question. She hasn't cut for 2 n a 1/2 years and her arm looks real holey and yuck coz of that scar. But yeah its to reduce infection and scarring as well. The stitch marks won't be there as u can almost imagine

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
