Description
Celox-A applicator plunger with Celox granules by BioStat LLC.
Celox plunger provides direct delivery of Celox hemostatic granules to small, deep, traumatic wounds to stop bleeding fast, including blood containing heparin, coumadin or warfarin. Apply absorbent Celox granules directly to wound and apply pressure for about 30 seconds. On contact, Celox granules bind to the surface of red blood cells to form a gel-like plug. This hemostatic dressing stops bleeding in smaller wounds within seconds and controls mild to potentially life-threatening arterial bleeding within minutes.
Celox is made of chitosan, a derivative of chitin which is extracted from shrimp shells and has proven antimicrobial properties. It stops bleeding without generating heat or burning, without stimulating the body’s own clotting process, is effective in hypothermic conditions, and is easily irrigated from wounds when the patient presents for further medical treatment.
Celox applicator products come in sterile, waterproof packaging in multiple sizes and quantity designed for use by EMS professionals as well as people with basic first aid skills. The Celox plunger is fast, effective first aid in any type of bleeding incident ranging from minor cuts, severe punctures or other deep wounds caused by accidents, workplace equipment, knives, guns, and shrapnel.
Hemostatic dressing blood stop function compares to Bleed Arrest, Quick Clot, and Wound Seal.
Package contains one 6 gram (0.2 oz) Celox applicator plunger. This Celox plunger is recommended for use in first responder first aid kits by EMS professionals only.
