Well, it does sound wonderful. Could be bollocks, though.

There is spray collodion aka nitrocellulose. It's just old-school molecules, though.

I love Band-Air Hydro Seal (hydrocolloid) bandages and 3M Tegaderm film. They work far better than absorbent bandages.

I once stuck a finger in a running high-speed axial fan. Maybe 2-3 mm got shredded. So I just wrapped the fingertip with hydrocolloid bandages, and forgot about it. Maybe two weeks later, it had completely healed, with no scar.

Do you still feel touch the way you used to?

Yes, totally.

It wasn't that much, really. And very little flesh was actually missing. Just cut in ragged ways. So I just trimmed off the shattered nail, washed with warm water, and then peroxide. After patting dry with sterile gauze, I applied two small hydroseal bandages. First around the dorsal (nail) side, and then around the ventral side, with a little overlap. I used a small Skin-Flex bandage, with the gauze pad removed, to prevent the hydroseal bandages from coming off. And used methyl methacrylate to glue the end of the outer bandage.
