I took a wicked gash in the leg today, above the left knee when an angle grinder slipped from my hand and hit me on the leg. In a split second it cut through my jeans and made a gash about 2 inches long and a half inch deep.

Naturally, I'm too tough for hospitals and stitches, so after I covered it with paper towel and electrical tape (lol) I went to the pharmacy for some butterflies. That's where I found these neat new things.

They are "Doctor's Choice" Skin Closures. They are these cool little strips about 3 inches long. The strips come 5 to a "kit", with 5 kits to the box for $8.99.

You expose the adhesive at one end of the 5 strip kit, and press it down on one side of the cut, them expose the adhesive in the middle, and draw the wound closed, press it down again, and then finally, expose the last end of the strips and press them down. The whole thing gets covered with this special pad.

I did mine at 5:30, then drove a standard transmission truck for an hour and half to get home, and the strips are still firmly in place under the pad, and the wound appears to be tightly closed.

They are amazing really. I think every first aid kit should two or three boxes of these things.

Yep. Done it plenty of times... The trick is to get the bleeding completely stopped first.

Super glue was developed by the military to close wounds...

They do have skin glue. Although it's tricky if you are still bleeding. Butterfly bandaids are gold.

Big believer in Hydrogen Peroxide, Betadine, NeoSporin, swear words, and non- stick pad things.

No fighing with the insurance, no waiting in filthy ER's.

And, no having to repeat yourself about how it happened.
