Slackers article contains a good link/idea though...

Quote
Super Glue was used during the Vietnam War to close wounds—though never approved by the FDA because of its unknown toxic effects. A safer-for-humans version was eventually approved as medical glue, and is sold under the brand names SurgiSeal, Dermabond, GluStitch, and Surgilock, among others. Costing over $200 for the glue, I doubt any climber would consider these.

Instead ... there is Vetbond, basically the same glue, but packaged and sold for use on animals. Vetbond costs about $12 on Amazon, and has N-butyl cyanoacrylate, the same ingredient in the human version, GluStitch. N-butyl has been noted as “safe” for medical use by the National Institutes of Health.

  • Largely broken. Obsolete spares and scrap only.
