CELOX hemostatic granules, made from Chitosan, are very high surface-area flakes that absorb fluid from the blood. CELOX swells, gels, and sticks together to form a robust "pseudo clot". This adhesive-like action seals the wound and rapidly controls bleeding. CELOX does not initiate or interfere with the body's normal clotting cascade. Celox granules are sterile, single-use packets that are small, flat, lightweight and easy to store and carry.
Celox is easy to use. Just pour, pack, cover, and press. Pour onto/into the wound, covering entire bleeding area. Pack cavity or laceration with granules. Cover area with regular gauze. Press/compress the affected area to disseminate CELOX. CELOX 2g granule packs are great for fingertip cuts, or any minor lacerations. Celox’s™ unique, patented and natural formula, works independently of the body’s normal clotting mechanisms to clot blood even where normal clotting is slow. A great product for individuals taking blood thinning medications, individuals with bleeding disorders, and anyone who may encounter hypothermic bleeding. This product is FDA approved as an OTC medical device.
These are good for small nicks or bleeding from small areas. For deeper wounds, you may need to use more than 1 pack or you may consider purchasing a Celox product containing a larger quantity of granules. See video below on how to use Celox granules.
