CELOX Veterinary Granules
Stops Bleeding Fast
CELOX, an exceptional hemostat, is finally available to
Veterinarians and Pet Owners! Extremely effective, safe and easy to use, CELOX
reliably stops bleeding fast when tackling any trauma bleed situation.
CELOX is available in two sizes of gauze or granules
(just pour, pack and apply pressure). When mixed with blood, CELOX forms a
gel-like clot in just 30 seconds, independent of the body's normal clotting
processes. Made from highly purified chitosan, CELOX is safe and any chitosan
residuals are naturally metabolized. Unlike some other clotting agents it is
non-exothermic so will not burn the patient or care giver.
CELOX is suitable for...
- Hemostasis following sharp debridement
- Field trauma
- Arterial or venous bleeding
- Severe high pressure bleeding
- Mass removal
- Dental bleeds
CELOX has been shown to...
- Significantly reduce blood loss
- Reliably stop arterial bleeding
- Clot blood containing anticoagulants and heparin
- Save lives
- Save management time for bleeding wounds
- Be simple and effective
How CELOX Works: Pouring CELOX
into a wound prevents blood loss by forming a gel like clot as the CELOX binds
to the surface of red blood cells. CELOX’s clotting ability has been
proven to work in the presence of common anti-coagulants such as warfarin and
heparin. CELOX also rapidly clots hypothermic (cold) blood.
CELOX is made with chitosan, a natural polysaccharide.
Chitosan has a known metabolic pathway. That means any left in the body is
broken down by the bodies normal enzymes and converted into materials normally
present in the body.
Chitosan is digested by lysozyme , an enzyme which is
present is tears, saliva and mucus. It breaks down to give glucosamine a sugar
already present in the body and helps lubricate joints.
Unlike some other hemostats, CELOX does not use or
release non-degrading procoagulant minerals or alumina based clays such as
smectitie or kaolin, which will remain in the body indefinitely unless
completely removed.
CELOX Gauze is an instinctive way of using CELOX to stop
even severe bleeding or hemorrhage. Just pack the wound and apply pressure – its
safe, easy and very effective.
CELOX Gauze has highly effective CELOX granules bonded
on to the surface of a stable gauze which will not compact under pressure. A
single pack of CELOX™ Gauze is capable of packing more than twice the wound
volume of some of its competitors.
CELOX’s unique, patented and natural formula, works
independently of the body’s normal clotting mechanisms to clot blood even where
normal clotting is slow or impaired.
In laboratory, wound model and clinical testing CELOX
Gauze has repeatedly shown itself to be able to quickly and reliably stop even
deep arterial bleeds. Of course that should not surprise you as CELOX granules
have already been shown to result in 100% survival in independent US Navy’s
severe bleeding tests.
Directions:
-
Tear open CELOX pack. Blot away any excess blood
from the wound site.
-
Quickly pour the granules onto the wound so that
they cover the entire bleeding area and gill any wound void. CELOX
should be applied directly to the bleeding area.
-
Quickly cover with gauze and apply firm pressure for
1 to 5 minutes depending on the severity of the bleeding.
-
Wrap and tie with bandage so as to maintain pressure
on the wound.
-
Prior to further dressing or suturing, gently remove
any excess CELOX. Use sterile saline if required.
-
Discard any unused CELOX granules.
Packaging: Sterile 15 gram pouch.
