Abstract
The authors report four cases of patients in desperate clinical situations where cyanoacrylate adhesive (Krazy Glue) was successfully used to control hemorrhage. Clinical observations were supplemented with bacteriological studies which showed that commercially available cyanoacrylate adhesive showed lack of bacteriological contamination.Keywords
