Sutures or CA?
I'm prepping for my insertion next weekend and have seen sutures used by most in the community. However, a nurse friend of mine said that I should reduce the skin trauma and just use cyanoacrylate surgical glue (or just new super glue) for such a small cut. I'd tend to agree, but with the sutures, the wound will be exposed and allow me to apply antibiotic ointment to and slightly inside the incision to combat any issues with magnet or tool sterilization. When I brought this up with him, he said "well, don't have sterilization issues."
What are your thoughts? CA glue that's not invasive? Or sutures, that allow for ointment to be applied?

The RFID chip was sealed with a dab of CA on the injection site, and then a tiny spot-bandaid. After 24 hours both came off and a small pockmark scar was left behind, again no aftercare or infection issues. This short removal period might be an issue for a larger site, such as an incision - you don't want to pull off the superglue and reopen the wound.
