Step 1
Make sure there aren't any better options. Closing a wound with glue is not an ideal treatment. Make sure you need to use the method before you start.
-
Step 2
Clean and disinfect the wound thoroughly. Cleaning the wound is essential, especially when you are using an artificial substance to close it. Use an antiseptic to clean the wound before you close it.
-
Step 3
Find a strong glue. Cyanoacrylate glue, sometimes known as "Super Glue" or "Krazy Glue," is the commercial version of the glue used by some surgeons to close wounds. While retail super glues are not meant for medical purposes, they can be used in an emergency.

Step 4
Hold the wound closed and seal it with the glue. Make sure you don't get your fingers stuck to your skin or to the glue while you do this. Cyanoacrylate bonds quickly with the moisture on human skin. Hold the wound together by applying gentle pressure from the margins of the wound until the glue is dry enough to keep it closed on its own.

Step 5
Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. You should think of using glue to close a wound as a temporary solution. After you have closed the wound, find a doctor or emergency medical center to properly deal with the wound and prevent further injury.
