Wounds are stuck together with superglue? WTF?

Not been to A&E recently?

Only for broken bones (about 1988, 1995, and 2002) and stitches to my
head (twice in the 80s). No glue was used. I'm sure superglue was
around at least as far back as 1980.

It was developed to help with casualties in the VietNam war.

Quicker?

And better. The wound is held together over the entire length,
not just in isolated places like with stitches or clips.
