Explanation

Dermabond is a type of medical adhesive, similar to a super glue, used by doctors to close small wounds, cuts, or surgical incisions. It's a clear liquid that hardens quickly to form a strong protective barrier over the wound, helping to prevent infection and promote healing. Dermabond is often used as an alternative to stitches or staples because it's less invasive and can be more comfortable for the patient.
