10+ years? Hm.. super glue has been used by hikers to treat wounds for as long as I can remember (20+?)

I wonder if this is a case of necessity inventing it and medical practice following

Yeah, I remember some spray version when I was a kid. The 10+ is how long I think it has been present at my particular hospital.

The interesting thing is that it hasn't really caught on. We don't have any financial pressure or other external factors, it is really convenient, yet I'm pretty sure that only 10-20% of the doctors use it.
