Dermabond that is becoming a popular tool for closing small wounds in Emergency departments. While you can get the real stuff from medical supply houses, you pay a lot of money for what is essentially sterilized Krazy Glue.
</font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Dermatologists are justifying their advice because Krazy Glue is comparable to a substance they use medically. Krazy Glue, or ethyl cyanoacrylate, is similar to a product called Dermabond that is used instead of sutures in dermatologic surgery, says Dr. James Spencer, director of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
But Dermabond is a prescription product, distributed by Johnson & Johnson Co. division Ethicon Inc., of Sommerville, N.J., and costs about $20 an ounce. Krazy Glue, available at most drug and hardware stores, sells for only $2 per ounce.
Spencer says he sees no problem with using Krazy Glue to seal small wounds - as long as it is applied with caution. He recommends patients dab a small spot of glue on top of the wound and then seal it closed with their fingers. But, both Gross and Spencer warn, some people may be allergic to the adhesive.
Regardless of the dermatologists' advice, Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Sharon Snider warns the product is not approved for medical use. Elmer's Products, of Columbus, Ohio, agrees with the FDA, stating: "We do not advocate that the product be used for medical purposes." And company spokeswoman Terri Brown says Elmer's Products has no plans to pursue FDA approval for its skin adhesive properties.</font>
