Wound care product stops bleeding and assists soldiers on the battlefield

Celox™ granules are high surface area flakes. When the flakes come in contact with blood, the product forms a robust gel like clot in 30 seconds. It works independently of the body’s normal clotting processes. The product’s clotting ability has been proven to work in the cold (hypothermia) or in the presence of common anti-coagulants such as warfarin. Since it does not generate heat, Celox will not burn the casualty or care giver. The product is made with chitosan, which is broken down by lysozyme, a human enzyme that leaves glucosamine, a sugar that is normally found in the body. Suitable for a wide range of bleeding wounds and lacerations, Celox does not use non-degrading procoagulant minerals or nano particles such as smectitie or kaolin, which will remain in the body indefinitely unless completely removed.

*The following testimonial provides insight to a recent Celox™ success story.

To Whom It May Concern:

Celox™ was used on a young man who had been assaulted with a panga and as a result had a very deep cut on the palm of his hand. He was bleeding profusely from the wound. Pressure alone had failed to stop the bleeding and local exploration in the emergency room to tie off vessels was impossible due to the numerous vessels involved and the danger surrounding nerves and tendons. With the help of Celox and 5 minutes of applied pressure, all bleeding ceased and the patient's hand was dressed and prepared for exploration under anesthesia.

Thank you Celox Medical!
