Krazy Glue your fingers

Healing

When I was in United States I saw an interesting way to heal ripped skin.

It was our second day of bouldering and already our fingertips were very painful to the touch of rough granite. My skin was not so bad but Nathan couldn't hold out on a sharp crystal and ripped a good size hole in his tip.
He wants to climb further, but his blood stained every hold he touched. Nathan went to his backpack and instead of tape he takes out a small tube of Krazy Glue.


I asked him,  "What is that," and he answered its glue. This super fast glue is for skin injuries the best.

I watched him apply it and within a few second he was ready to climb again and
Even without additional taping.



Scheme of injury



Gluing of tissue was used for the first time in war surgery in Vietnam.

There is a little discussion about it:
