If it is labled USP it is same standard as human. 'Liquid skin' aka flexible collodion is not hairspray and is not enough for anything of significance |

They have lots of meds for farm animals that are just like we use. They are also about a 1000 times cheaper than what you would be charged if you bought the same amount (or could) of "Human Grade" antibiotics. Related... If you live near a Mil. Base, keep a look out on Craigslist for a medical pack. LOTS of good supplies in them if full like sutures, clamps, bandages, airway tubes etc, etc.. |

I use it regularly - way better than a bandage when you need to keep a cut clean. The dollar store stuff works just fine. Quoting: AlkaliDesert I understand that but I was wondering if a High hold hairspray could cover larger wounds as a basic "skin" type covering post alcohol disinfection kind of a light version of liquid skin if needed for a larger area if needed |

Many commercial brands are available, and while the active ingredients are usually the same across various brands, the additives may vary. Liquid bandage research is an ongoing effort to improve functionality, availability and uses. Carrier The largest component of any liquid bandage is the carrier, or vehicle of the adhesive component. Most commercial liquid bandages contain an alcohol component, referred to as isooctane, as the base ingredient. This is the ingredient responsible for the initial sting when placed on a cut. The isooctane also allows the bandage to dry within minutes. Application of an additional alcohol on the cut will disrupt the polymer-alcohol mix in the bandage and remove it. Not all liquid bandages contain alcohol, however, as some use a permeable liquid base. Polymer Polymers come in many forms and usually have the longest scientific-sounding name on the label. Polymers are the nontoxic glue in liquid bandages and may read as methyacrylate or acrylate, but will always have the word "polymer" somewhere in the mix. The chemical composition of this skin polymer is only a few molecules away from that used in commercial hair preparations such as hairspray. The polymer is engineered to start breaking down after only a few days. Additives Most commercial liquid bandages have additional additives promoted to heal the wound faster. These additives can include an antiseptic component, which is sometimes the alcohol carrier or an additional component to prevent bacterial growth in the cut. Nexcare's 3M liquid bandage has an additive of tea tree oil, a herbal preparation known for its antimicrobial effects when used topically. The U.S. Army has engineered a liquid bandage that harbors lidocaine and antibiotics to effectively block wound pai [link to www.livestrong.com] |

Your first frikken clue should be that nobody in the biz uses the stuff for anything by small scrapes, or sticking EEG leads to the scalp. Ask any doctor, they dont use the stuff, and someone without any real training will just get hurt imagining it will do more that it really can. |

If you have something more than just a small cut that cant be glued or steristripped together, you either stitch it, or staple it. You can buy staple sets pretty cheaply, and they work fast and are easy. You can get the large size for large size slashes, or small ones for smaller cuts. The problem always remains that most people dont understand wound closure do's and donts, and what you get wrong can kill someone |
