Expanding on this a bit, commercial cyanoacrylate (such as Super Glue or Krazy Glue) was used during the Vietnam War by US personnel for wound closures, but was not approved by the FDA for medical purposes because its side affects hadn't been explored. Dermabond and other medical grade cyanocrylates have since been approved.
