Uncontrolled haemorrhage is responsible for over 35% of pre-hospital deaths and catastrophic bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death, both in civilian life, and on the battlefield.
The solution: Celox™!
Celox trauma products have helped save the lives of civilians since 2006!
Celox haemostats use a high-quality chitosan formulation, scientifically developed as a fast-acting, safe and highly effective haemostat, which work independently of the body’s classic coagulation pathway and does not generate heat. Celox haemostats can rapidly promote clot formation, through absorption and dehydration forming a gel-like plug.
The most recent addition to the Celox product range is Celox Rapid, the fastest-acting, high-density haemostatic gauze.
Celox Rapid contains the latest haemostatic technology with patented Chito-R augmented chitosan, giving fast emergency treatment in critical life-threatening situations. It reduces blood loss by 60% by speeding up packing time and reducing compression time to 60 seconds, or until bleeding stops. Faster treatment time may improve casualty survival and aid treatment of multiple casualties.
Celox Rapid is the UK Ministry of defence’s product of choice!
Understanding proper haemorrhage control methods and applying them quickly is the key to reducing unnecessary deaths due to uncontrolled bleeding. In the UK, haemostats can only be used by trained emergency responders, though this can be as simple as a first aid course and a course on how to use haemostats. Lots of advice and training on haemostats and trauma care can be found at the Celox Academy.
