You can rely on Celox™ to stop bleeding when you need it most. Celox™ works on all bleeding wounds; from minor cuts and grazes, to severe wounds.
Celox™ is easy to use (just pour, pack and apply pressure), very safe and extremely effective. When mixed with blood, Celox™ forms a robust gel plug in 30 seconds. This clotting action is independent of the bodies normal clotting processes. Celox’s™ clotting ability has been proven to work in the presence of common anti-coagulants such as warfarin.
In tests on swine by the U.S. Navy in Jacksonville, Celox™ was the only product to ive 100% survival. Celox™ is made with chitosan. Chitosan is broken down in the body by lysozyme, a human enzyme, to leave glucosamine, a sugar which is normally found in the body.
CELOX is an over-the-counter blood clotting agent that delivers fast first aid care for all types of bleeding--from cuts, scrapes, and nosebleeds to moderate and severe bleeding. CELOX is so effective, it's been proven to work even in the presence of common anticoagulant blood thinning medications--a welcome breakthrough for the 40 million Americans who are on blood thinners and who can suffer from serious bleeding issues.
Proven to Be EffectiveThis potentially life-saving blood clotting agent is available in three convenient formulas:
1. CELOX First Aid Granular
Pour directly on a wound and apply pressure--it won't sting or burn. Bleeding typically stops within 30 seconds.
2. CELOX Nosebleed Dressing
A
small, specially shaped CELOX-bonded pad that can be easily and
comfortably inserted in the nostril to quickly stop nosebleeds.
3. CELOX Gauze Pads and CELOX Gauze Roll
Pliable gauze bonded with full-strength CELOX granules.
How CELOX Works
When
the active ingredients in CELOX come into contact with blood, they
quickly swell, gel, and stop bleeding. CELOX's powerful clotting
ingredients work independently of the body's normal clotting processes,
and they only gel with the blood they come directly into contact with.
CELOX delivers potentially life-saving power as it stops bleeding,
reduces blood loss, and in the event of severe bleeding, helps prevent
shock.

CELOX empowers people to respond more effectively in any bleeding situation. If a bleeding emergency happens, you'll be ready. CELOX is so effective, it helps treat injuries that require professional medical attention, so you can be proactive until professional help arrives. When every second counts, CELOX puts time on your side.
Celox™ blood clotting granules are actually very high surface area flakes. When they come in contact with blood, Celox™ swells, gels, and sticks together to make a gel like clot, without generating any heat. Celox™ does not set off the normal clotting cascade, it only clots the blood it comes directly into contact with.
This mode of action has a number of major benefits:
Severe traumatic blood loss quickly leads to the victim becoming hypothermic, irrespective of the outside temperature. Hypothermic blood is coagulopathic (does not clot normally) and so becomes harder to stop. The effectiveness of Celox blood clotting agents in hypothermic conditions has been tested independently3.
Celox granules work even where there is Heparin or Warfarin (Coumadin) in the blood. An increasing number of people are on anticoagulants, presenting an extra challenge if they are injured. Celox has been tested and shown to clot heparinized blood*. Further laboratory tests on blood containing heparin or warfarin have been published 1,2,3. Published results use Celox in patients with severe coagulation problems4. These are cases of bleeding after complex surgery where other hemostatic agents had failed to control the problem.
“Celox simply clots the blood once it comes directly into contact with it, thus not setting off the normal clotting cascade. Since chitosan works independently from the physiological clotting mechanisms, it has also been proved to work in the presence of common anti-coagulants such as warfarin as well as in the presence of heparin”
Celox does not produce any heat at all when it is used*, unlike some mineral-based hemostats.
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 body’s normal enzymes and converted into materials normally present in the body. This is unlike other hemostats that can leave mineral residuals in the body6,7. Chitosan is digested by lysozyme, a human 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 joints8.
The chitosan in Celox is a specific high quality grade selected for medical use from a shellfish source and the product has been through extensive safety testing to FDA requirements and the most stringent class of European Medical Device regulations. As part of this work the chitosan has been tested on human subjects with confirmed fish or shrimp hypersensitivity and none of the subjects showed any skin reaction to the chitosan5.
