Description
Celox can stop even potentially lethal bleeding fast. It is easy to use (just pour, pack and apply pressure), very safe (tested to class 3 CE Mark standards) and extremely effective.
Pouring the CELOX into the wound prevents blood loss by forming a gel-like plug as the CELOX links to the surface of red blood cells. When mixed with blood, Celox forms a robust gel like clot in 30 seconds. It works independently of the bodies normal clotting processes. Celox’s clotting ability has been proven to work in the cold (hypothermia) or in the presence of common anti-coagulants such as warfarin. It generates no heat and will not burn the casualty or care giver.
In clinical tests by the US marines, Celox was the only product to give 100% survival. It gave a strong stable MAP (mean arterial blood pressure) and was also the only product to give robust clotting with no rebleeding.
Haemostatic agents have been developed to achieve control of haemorrhages in those areas (neck, groin, armpit etc.) where a tourniquet cannot be applied. These agents can be used to make removing the tourniquet possible when there are long delays in the evacuation of the wounded person.
CELOX granules are available in two sizes:
