What is surgical glue?
Surgical glues and adhesives are used to attach organs, structures, or tissues to each other or to effect repair. These may include single components, such as cyanoacrylates or fibrin glue, or may be enhanced by incorporating additional hemostatic or sealant properties, (e.g., a combination of collagen and thrombin, or a combination of thrombin, collagen and fibrin). Although "surgical sealants" and "surgical glues" are sometimes used synonymously, stronger adhesion distinguishes glues for their ability to provide a level of structural strength.

Does super glue work for a wound?
While compounds very similar to Super Glue were first developed as a surgical cement, and "gluing" a small, delicate surgical wound closed is a rare but occassional practice, this does not fall within the confines of First Aid. The superglue preparation you buy at hardware stores is not sterile, and a wound of the size a surgeon would glue closed can be better treated by more conventional methods during first response. In short, don't do it.
