Celox is without doubt the most exciting new product we have found this year. After listening to the concerns of our dealers and users regarding the inadequacy of the standard first aid kits available, we set out to find a solution to this problem. There is no doubt that injuries from hand saws or chain saws are at best inconvenient and at worst life threatening. Severe bleeding can cause shock and death in less than 10 minutes. Moderate, prolonged bleeding can do the same. Yet, the standard first aid kits being sold into our industry contain nothing more than sticking plasters or a blood stopper. Plasters really don't have a lot of use in an emergency, and blood stoppers only soak up the blood but do little to stop the flow. What we wanted was a product which was capable of stemming the flow of blood from a severely damaged artery.
After some time searching, we decided to look into solutions for battlefield condition as chainsaw injuries can be as bad as severe battlefield injuries. During our search we came across Celox, a British product which seemed to fit the bill.
Celox is an haemostatic granule which when poured into a bleeding wound, links to the red blood cells promoting rapid coagulation. In controlled tests, it was found to stop most bleeding within 30 seconds and to stop severe arterial bleeding in minutes. In battlefield trials Celox achieved a 100% survival rate. It works in hypothermic conditions and also clots blood containing heparin or warfarin. Celox also generates no heat and wont burn the patient or first aider. It is safe to use in all parts of the body including head and neck wounds. Simply pour granules into the wound and apply pressure. No specific training is needed. The sachet can be opened one handed so that the granules can be self administered.
Celox is tried, tested and proven and is without doubt a life saver. You should consider carrying it in your personal first aid kit as well as the kits in your van and office to protect you and your colleagues in the event of an accident.
