Superglue probably wouldn't dry as fast. It might be toxic, depending on the chemicals. It sounds like this forces the blood to clot, I don't know if the blood would clot fast behind a superglue barrier.

The next time you use superglue (cyanoacrylate) and want it to dry and harden instantly, go get some baking soda and gently sprinkle the soda over the superglue. It instantly hardens, albeit with a mottled texture.

I've done that before when I got superglue on my finger, and wasnt sure what was water and what was glue. Some baking soda, and it hardens for me to see and feel it. Also worked well on my RepRap, when I had my X-idler delaminate.
