Celox Rapid Hemostatic Gauze, in a 5 ft. Z-fold design, is the fastest-acting hemostatic gauze available, stopping life-threatening bleeding in just 60 seconds, significantly reducing blood loss and treatment time.
Time is critical - Time is critical when treating severe injuries in the field and saving time increases the chance of survival for the casualty in an emergency or hostile situation. To be effective in real use, haemostatic dressings need to work fast.
Enhanced Chitosan - CELOX™ Rapid contains Chito-R™ activated chitosan granules that stick to wet tissue in the wound*. Chito-R™ forms an adhesive gel that seals the wound to stop the flow of blood, speeding up compression time.
- CELOX™ gauze demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in survival (7%) and most evidently in the more severely injured
- Independent comparative tests in the form of a meta-analysis reported a statistically significant improvement in survival with CELOX™ Gauze, compared to alternative agents
