Both Dermabond and commericial superglue are cyanoacrylates. The commerical grade stuff has a 2-methyl or 2-ethyl group. Dermabond has a 2-octyl group. Because of it Dermabond takes longer to degrade. I think he is referring to Dermabond. Both Dermabond and commericial superglue are cyanoacrylates.
