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 control bleeding and is particularly useful in treating difficult and deep wounds. A clot forms within minutes after pouring the product into the wound. Excess granules form a gelled mass (see Fig. 2) to protect the clot. The gelled material is easy to remove.
No Heat Generated
CELOX does not generate any heat, produce burning, nor does it embed itself into the wound.
Works in Hypothermic Conditions
CELOX works whether blood temperature is 98.7°F (37.05°C) or 65.4 F (18.5 °C).
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.
Long shelf life.
