In past threads, how to care for wounds in the back country was often discussed, sometimes in controversy. I've carried sutures in my first aid kit for years, and have used 'superglue' (at my own risk, as well as yours, should you choose to go that way) on small cuts with very good success. Lately, a pharmacist friend of mine provided me with a couple viles of "Dermabond" which is the real deal with regard to surgical wound adhesives. This is what I'll be carrying in my first aid kit, along with superglue (cheap and effective for little cuts) and sutures. Knowing how to triage and prepare a wound is crucial to success and a wilderness first aid course is recommended, however, I thought folks would enjoy reading about using "Dermabond".
