The glue is easier to apply to wounds and incisions, and its use results in a better cosmetic look. Unlike stitches, the glue does not have to be removed since it wears off after time. At present the glue, called Dermabond, is used only for cuts, but may be used for burns and abrasions someday.
The glue can be applied to any part of the body except for hands, feet, and the surrounding area of mucous membranes. Dermabond is manufactured by Closure Medical Corporation.
The joint venture could mean improved car safety and better treatment of crash injuries. When accidents occur, the team will be notified. With consent from the victims, details of the injury and crash will be recorded. The researchers will document the treatment of the victim throughout the recovery process.
