Celox 35 Gram Pouch
Celox® is a new high-performance hemostatic material. It is a proprietary marine biopolymer chitosan designed to stop high-volume arterial bleeding. Celox® is suitable for many applications, from deep arterial bleeds to superficial wounds.
Controls Major Arterial Bleeding
Celox®'s unusual properties have been confirmed in wound models, where they have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to rapidly control major arterial bleeding (without cautery) from traumatic wounds. The granular presentation provides a simple, quick way to stop bleeding and is particularly useful in treating difficult and deep wounds. A clot forms at the site of the injured blood vessel within minutes after pouring the product into the wound. Excess granules form a gelled mass to protect the clot. The gelled material is easy to remove.
No Known Side Effects
Celox® does not generate any heat, produce burning, nor does it embed itself into the wound. Even though CELOX is derived from shellfish, it did not cause allergic reaction in tested individuals.
Works on All Blood Temperatures
Celox® works whether blood temperature is 98.7°F (37.05°C) or 65.4 F (18.5 °C).
Works on Heparinized Blood
Celox® works on heparinized blood because it works independently of the blood clotting factors.
Lightweight, Portable, Easy to Administer
Celox® granules are lightweight, packaged in sterilized, sealed packets which are easy and fast to open. CELOX is poured into the wound and held down with gauze for 5 minutes. A compression bandage is then wrapped over the gauze covered wound and patient is transported.
