BF glue is a well-known external antiseptic used in medicine for disinfection and early healing of cuts, burns, cracks, scratches, abrasions and other minor skin lesions.

In addition, the drug "BF" is used in dentistry to treat tooth roots in the surgical treatment of inflammatory processes.
The glue is a yellowish, colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent odor. This is an alcohol solution of synthetic resin, rosin and polyvinyl butyral with the addition of a special substance that gives the drug elasticity.

Then, with an even thin layer, but sufficient for the formation of a film, cover the abrasion site, capturing unaffected areas. No additional dressing required.

After wound healing, the remnants of it are very easily removed.

What are the disadvantages of glue "BF-6"? The use of glue is accompanied by a rather pungent odor and a strong burning sensation. The latter can be a problem when treating wounds in a child.
