Average Time to Clot Whole Blood: 30.5 Seconds Average Time to Clot Heparinized Blood: 48 Seconds Controls Major Arterial Bleeding Celox has 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 to protect the clot. The gelled material is easy to remove. Celox is non-exothermic (will not burn patients), and works even with hypothermic patients and on heparinized blood. Celox is easy to use (just pour, pack and apply pressure), very safe (tested to class 3 CE Mark standards) and extremely effective. When mixed with blood, Celox forms a robust gel-like clot in 30 seconds. It works independently of the body’s 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. Safety Testing The chitosan in Celox is a specific high quality grade selected for medical use from a shellfish source. Chitosan is made up of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine, which are naturally occurring sugars in the body.It has been tested for allergenic reaction on humans with a known fish or shrimp hypersensitivity and none of the subjects showed any skin reaction to the chitosan. Celox has had thousands of successful uses since first launched in 2006 with no adverse events reported. Dimensions: 3.5" H x 2.5" W x 1" D (packaged) Weight: 0.7 oz
