Yep; it's called Histoacryl, and it's used for gum surgery too.
Real pain when it glues all kinds of unwanted things in places it ain't
supposed to....cotton gauze to teeth, gloves to surgical instruments etc,
etc.
It's a better way than sutures for a lot of superficial wounds...just don't
use it for deep, narrow wounds that are contaminated.
Sealing in anaerobic bacteria isn't nice...your body won't like it!!
