Just by the way, a nice article on wounds treatment:

I'm wondering why the tissue glue is not comonly included in Med Kits:
"Although suturing remains the most common
method of closing wounds, topical skin adhesives
are increasingly being used in place of nonabsorbable
sutures, staples and adhesive strips. They
offer a fast and less traumatic closure for
appropriately selected wounds. Tissue adhesives are
indicated for the closure of topical skin incisions
and trauma-induced lacerations in areas of low skin
tension. Topical adhesives may be applied over
wounds initially under tension, as long as the
tension is first alleviated by applying either
subcutaneous or subcuticular sutures according to
standard practice. Topical adhesives are not to be
applied over joints, such as knees or elbows."


It's much better than a bandage, even on joints for small cuts.
