This drug also has strong antiseptic properties and disinfects wounds. The film from Pentazol is even more durable than from BF-6 glue. Another good remedy from analogues is the "liquid bandage" "Dr. Goodman." It contains silicone polymers that create a strong film that allows oxygen to pass through. This tool can be applied even to extensive wounds. The cost of analogues is usually higher - about 600-700 rubles, so the BF-6 does not lose its relevance.
