True, I believe for certain values of 'developed'. I understand it was invented earlier than that, but you could very well say they were developed (as in, refined, improved, packaged) by the military during Vietnam.
Medical cyano is not necessarily the same as off-the-shelf superglue, however. They can irritate the skin, and can give out some nasty fumes - but you'd need a pretty big wound to use enough to generate enough fumes to worry you, and with a wound like that, a few fumes aren't going to worry you all that much.
It stings like F%$@# though.
Does it? The one time I've had medical cyano I don't remember it stinging at all. Perhaps I was too disturbed by the sight of the inside of my hand to notice. I was feeling a bit feint at the time, and that's the only sensation I recall. Possibly most of what I had was below the nerves that might respond to it (it was a smallish, only 25mm or so long, but neat clean and deep cut).

Is Germolene 'New Skin' actually cyano then? That hurts a lot on an open wound but I always imagined that was some sort of antiseptic at work.
