CA Finish?

[jnelson]

I wonder if there is as much debate in the medical community on the proper CA finish as there is here?:biggrin:

Yeah, will EMTs start carrying a can of accelerator?

Medical CA is actually a different formulation. I keep intending to look for some, since it sounds like it might be better for penmaking than the stuff we use.

Medical type CA uses either Octyl or Butyl and super glue type CA uses either Ethyl or Methyl. The rest of it is pretty much the same.

On December 29TH my youngest son had surgery for a herniated disc in his neck. They used the CA to close the outer part of the wound. Because of that it is healing nicely and he was able to take a shower when he came home the next day. He also has a Titainum rod in his neck. The only problem was they couldn't polish the CA finish as he kept falling off the Lathe. They also couldn't find the right size bushing to luse and Center to Center wasn't working.

Can't beleive how fast he is recovering and expect to be back to work by June.

Problem is that the surgical CA's don't give the shiny finish we are used to...:biggrin:

Darn! I'd still like to try it out.

The hospitals use it on minor cuts when they can get aways with not sutchering but I wont be carrying any of this on the fire truck.
