'''Cyanoacrylate''' is a powerful and versatile adhesive, sold medically under the name Dermabond, and commercially by a number of names, one of the most common being Super Glue.


A '''Dental Dam''' is a rectangular piece of latex or silicone used in dentistry to isolate the tooth or teeth to be treated in order to protect that area from bacteria in the oral cavity.
In the body modification world, cyanoacrylate has a number of uses. It is used by some practitioners as a suture alternative for genital [[Implant|implant]] procedures. Proper use of cyanoacrylate in this capacity can produce less [[Scar|scarring]] than the use of traditional sutures. The glue may need to be re-applied a few times during the initial healing process, as it tends to flake off before the wound is completely healed closed.


They can also be used as a barrier during [[Oral sex|oral sex]] to minimise the transmission of disease/infection between the mouth and vulva/vagina/anus.
In addition, some men enjoy using glues for temporary [[Infibulation|infibulation]] by pushing the genitals up and wrapping them in pubic and scrotal skin, and then gluing the whole thing together. This generally lasts a few days at most, and relatively painless separation is possible before that with care... assuming the person shaved fully!
 
They are readily available in a variety of colors and even come flavored.
 
Makeshift dental dams can be made by slitting a non-lubricated [[Condom|condom]] lengthways.

Cyanoacrylate is a powerful and versatile adhesive, sold medically under the name Dermabond, and commercially by a number of names, one of the most common being Super Glue.

In the body modification world, cyanoacrylate has a number of uses. It is used by some practitioners as a suture alternative for genital implant procedures. Proper use of cyanoacrylate in this capacity can produce less scarring than the use of traditional sutures. The glue may need to be re-applied a few times during the initial healing process, as it tends to flake off before the wound is completely healed closed.

In addition, some men enjoy using glues for temporary infibulation by pushing the genitals up and wrapping them in pubic and scrotal skin, and then gluing the whole thing together. This generally lasts a few days at most, and relatively painless separation is possible before that with care... assuming the person shaved fully!
