CELOX - Stops Severe Bleeding

[redflare]

Hello Glocktalk!

Being an advertiser here, I wanted to introduce a product that might be of interest to the forum readers.

Celox (http://www.redflarekits.com/c/cl/Celox.html) is the newest generation of emergency hemostatic agents. It is very simple to use and safer than older technologies. This product does not release heat when applied to the wound. CELOX granules quickly control even the most severe arterial bleeding. Just pour it in, pack it, and apply pressure. No specific training is required.

Celox (http://www.redflarekits.com/c/cl/Celox.html) is used by the law enforcement, military personnel, those involved in high risk sports, in industrial first aid and by first responders, among other users.

This is a great item to keep in a first aid kit or a bug out bag. Read more about Celox here (http://www.redflarekits.com/c/cl/Celox.html)

Please feel free to email me, or ask questions about this product here.

I have researched this product and like it. I'm going to order some for my kit and probably some for the range bag.

Does it require any special instruction/training for it's use?

Hello Hedo1,

Celox is pretty easy to use.

See the picture for the actual instructions, but the procedure can be summarized as follows: "open envelope, dump contents in wound, apply pressure for 5 minutes, wrap with dressing for transport".
Pretty simple.

There's also Quick clot. Same principle

Celox-A (http://www.redflarekits.com/pc/celox-A/cl/CELOX-A+6+gr+Applicator+2+pack) is a new product that may be of interest to forum readers.

SAM Medical has designed an applicator delivery system that addresses the needs of EMS providers, physicians, and medical providers in remote settings. The applicator and plunger system now make it possible for the hemostatic agent to reach deep into the site of a traumatic wound, getting straight to the source of bleeding. Each package contains two applicator/plunger sets with 6g (0.2oz) of Celox granule in each. Read More!

What is the life expectancy... or how long does it last till it reaches expiration date?

[betyourlife]

I have been researching this stuff and have heard good things about it stopping severe arterial bleeding in pigs after a carotid artery (sp) was cut.

Redflare which do you recommend most for treating a gun shot, knife or other severe puncture wound, Celox or Celox-A??

All Celox products expire in 3 years

Celox-A is specifically designed for penetrating wounds: gunshot, knife, etc.
If I was in law enforcement, military or an EMT, or in any danger of being shot, etc, I would carry Celox-A (http://www.redflarekits.com/pc/celox-A/cl/CELOX-A+6+gr+Applicator+2+pack) in my first aid kit.

I've heard horror stories about quik clot causing blood clots and complications months down the road. Is this true? And if it is would Celox cause the same complications?

Deep penetrating wounds in general can cause complications down the road. We have never heard any reports about Celox causing complications.
Perhaps you could provide some references about what quik clot has caused?

[MrMurphy]

Is there an inhalation danger like with QuikClot and some of the other clotting agents? And you say it does NOT release heat on contact?

Celox does not release heat on contact. I have had those who used Quik Clot tell me "it burned like hell". Celox remains cool after it is applied to the wound.

The Celox-A (http://www.redflarekits.com/pc/celox-A/cl/CELOX-A+6+gr+Applicator+2+pack)comes in an applicator, designed to deliver the clotting agent directly to its site of action. I would think inhaling it would be kind of difficult.

I had an EMT that was a SWAT paramedic with another agency give use first aid training about a year and a half ago. I mentioned keeping Quik Clot in the car and she told me it has been causing alot of complications with the troops. I have no evidence of this, just what she told me.
