wound glue
Cut-closing compound
Wound glue is a medical adhesive used to close cuts and incisions instead of stitches or staples.
The glue bonds skin edges together as it dries, then gradually breaks down as the wound heals beneath it.
Also called skin glue or surgical glue: The doctor used wound glue on the gash—no stitches needed.
