CeloxTM works independently of the body’s clotting mechanism, so it works on hypothermic blood that does not clot normally, often found in serious casualties. It also works just as well on blood containing anti-coagulants such as warfarin or heparin.

CeloxTM gauze haemostat is for pre-hospital use by trained emergency responders to stop bleeding from severe injuries, including those involving major arteries.

Pack the gauze directly on to the bleeding source and hold pressure for three minutes to stop bleeding from arterial injuries, gunshot wounds, road traffic accidents and other severe bleeding injuries.

Comparing results of multiple studies, CeloxTM Gauze has superior record in trials on severe bleeding, with 91% immediate success. In the comparable studies Combat Gauze* stopped bleeding in 52% of cases and Chitogauze** stopped bleeding in 70%.1

2 4 6 8 100

Control No clot formed in 10 mins

CeloxTM = 25 seconds

Chitosan absorbs fluid, swells and forms a gel;

CeloxTM electrostatically attracts red blood cells and forms a gel-like plug.

Does not rely on the body’s own clotting mechanism.

No heat generated.

No minerals. Residual chitosan is naturally broken down and excreted by the body.
