Jim,
Glad you have stopped by. We on this forum represent many different countries, professions, and of-course, opinions. I am just one of them - not a moderator or anything other than a forumite. My training in medicine stops at EMT-Basic. There are atleast a couple of doctors who regularly post here.

This topic comes up on this forum with surprising regularity. Closing a wound in the field is almost certainly a bad idea. Whether you are using sutures, butterfly-bandages, or superglue the end result is almost certainly going to be an infection. Getting the wound completely clean is required before closing. If the wound is bleeding badly but not fataly then simply using a bunch of gauze and pressure will stop the bleeding and leave it open enough for you to clean and redress it daily or more often. If it is bleeding in such a fashion that direct pressure and bandages won't stop the bleeding then it is unlikely that sewing the skin shut will help - you would need enough surgical skill, equipment and conditions to sew up the organ or artery that is damaged. In such case you are simply dead - sorry If you need an ER and you don't have one then it's lights -out.

The only thing that is avoided by suturing or otherwise closing the wound promptly is scaring. In minor cases the scaring will only affect the skin and in severe cases there may be scaring that can affect muscles. Again suturing the skin is insuffficient anyway you would need to suture the underlying tissues as well. So all you can accomplish with superglue or sutures or anyother closure of a wound in the field is a nicely scar-free wound with gangrene festering underneath the surface.

Don't do it!

What you see in the movies is only good in the movies. What you see on the TV isn't even good on the TV.

I'm sure you will get some responses to this question other than mine. It would serve you to use the search feature of this forum but make sure that you set the time frame to all posts not just those from the last week (last week only is the default) and lookup super-glue / crazy-glue and closure and wound You will see that we discuss that about every two months.
