Time is critical
Time is critical when treating severe injuries in the field and saving time increases the chance of survival for the casualty in an emergency or hostile situation. To be effective in real use, haemostatic dressings need to work fast.
Enhanced Chitosan
CELOX™ Rapid contains Chito-R™ activated chitosan granules that stick to wet tissue in the wound*. Chito-R™ forms an adhesive gel that seals the wound to stop the flow of blood, speeding up compression time.
Tried and Tested
- CELOX™ gauze demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in survival (7%) and most evidently in the more severely injured
- Independent comparative tests in the form of a meta-analysis reported a statistically significant improvement in survival with CELOX™ Gauze, compared to alternative agents
