(Quinn & Kissick, 1994) Current use: Although not labeled as such, over-the-counter Super Glue products contain methyl alcohol, because it is inexpensive to produce. Cyanoacrylates cure by a chemical reaction called polymerization, which produces heat. Methyl alcohol has a pronounced heating action when it contacts tissue and may even produce burns if the glue contacts a large enough area of tissue. Rapid curing may also lead to tissue necrosis. Nevertheless, with a greater toxic potential, over-the-counter products are inappropriate for use in wound closure. (Quinn & Kissick, 1994) |
Thanks a lot for that. With the nail there is that nerve or whatever in there too so I'm thinking it wouldn't be appropriate. At first I thought, well its just the nail but then I did think about that nerve or vein or whatever.
She hasn't had any problems with it today so I haven't done anything to it. Hopefully it will stay like this, that she doesn't have any more problems.
