Not true. Sodium cyanide contains the cyanide anion, but cyanoacrylates are organic molecules that contain the cyano moiety or functional group. Big difference. You will die if you eat sodium cyanide but water in saliva will hasten the polymerization of cyanoacrylate. I have see medical publications where types of superglue were assessed as surgical glues for internal use. In harsh circumstances it has been sprayed onto an open wounds, in a dilute solution.

They differ in the alkyllengths. Methyl or ethyl esters are used for technical glues, n-butyl or 2-oktyl esters in veterinary or human medicine.
