Did you know that in the United States, nearly EVERY politician in Washington D.C. is on the pay roll of some pharmaceutical company so that they can pass or deny bills into action that will help the company and not the working class. THIS IS NOT A LIE. do a little research and you will find this is true
actually superglue is used by many hospitals to close wounds not the regular superglue you buy in stores which is way too dirty, but it has the same active components
I don't know what everyone's freaking out about Superglue was invented because back then medicine sucked and when you needed to close up a cut that's how you did it.
Wow, I sympathized with you until the superglue. WTF man, get some bandages.
gahh,the **** is wrong with you!
I love how all the comments end up having nothing to do with the original subject ;-)
SUPERGLUE WAS NOT INVENTED TO HEAL WOUNDS IN VIET NAM!!! Gah. If you're going to bandy about the history of a polymer, make sure that the history is at least accurate. "Super glue, Krazy glue, Eastman 910 and similar glues are all a special type of glue called cyanoacrylates. Cyanoacrylates were invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a special extra-clear plastic suitable for gun sights. He found they weren't suitable for that purpose, so he set the formula aside. Six years later he pulled it out of the drawer thinking it might be useful as a new plastic for airplane canopies. Wrong again--but he did find that cyanoacrylates would glue together many materials with incredible strength and quick action, including two very expensive prisms when he tried to test the ocular qualities of the substance. Seeing possibilities for a new adhesive, Kodak developed "Eastman #910" (later "Eastman 910") a few years later as the first true "super glue." In a now-famous demonstration conducted in 1959, Dr. Coover displayed the strength of this new product on the early television show "I've Got a Secret," where he used a single drop placed between two steel cylinders to lift the host of the show, Garry Moore, completely off of the ground. The use of cyanoacrylate glues in medicine was considered fairly early on. Eastman Kodak and Ethicon began studying whether the glues could be used to hold human tissue together for surgery. In 1964 Eastman submitted an application to use cyanoacrylate glues to seal wounds to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon afterward Dr. Coover's glue did find use in Vietnam--reportedly in 1966 cyanoacrylates were tested on-site by a specially trained surgical team, with impressive results."
