Product Description
Amazon.com
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 EffectiveOriginally developed to assist military medics, CELOX provides fast, effective first aid for men, women, children and older adults, and it's easy to use even if you have no first aid or medical training. CELOX has even been proven to work in the cold (in cases of hypothermia).
This 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.
A Must-Have for Every First Aid Kit
CELOX First Aid products are easy to carry in your purse, briefcase, backpack, gym bag, glove compartment, tool box, or tackle box. Having CELOX First Aid products on hand instantly makes your workshop, garage, car, boat, or home a safer environment.
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.
What's in the Box
Hemostatic first aid product.
From the Manufacturer
CELOX is a new high-performance hemostatic material. It is a proprietary marine biopolymer designed to control high-volume arterial bleeding without cautery. CELOX is suitable for many applications ranging from deep arterial bleeds to superficial wounds. A clot forms within minutes after pouring the product into the wound. Excess granules form a gelled mass to protect the clot. The gelled material is easy to remove. CELOX does not generate any heat, produce burning, nor does it embed itself into the wound. CELOX works whether blood temperature is 98.7 or 65.4 and it works on heparinized blood. CELOX works independently of the blood clotting factors. The granules are lightweight, packaged in sterilized, sealed packets which are easy and fast to open. CELOX is poured into the wound and held down with gauze for 5 minutes. A compression bandage is then wrapped over the gauze covered wound and patient is transported.Use Celox Gauze or Celox Granular formula on nails that are clipped to close, on cuts, bites and lacerations. Once bleeding is stopped you can better assess the injury and seek medical attention if necessary.

Background info:
The Pacific Northwest was snowed in(unusual for us) for a 4-5days and as of a couple nights ago we had 1/2" of ice on everything so we were stuck in.
2 nights ago, we decided to make some puffed pancakes. We like to squeeze lemon on them so I went to the knife block and my favorite knife, a Shun, to slice up the lemon. A side note: Shun, if you don't know what they are, they are flat amazing, but SUPER sharp, they have made me become a knife snob, these are the best I've come across. The knife was dirty, so hand washed it and honestly I wasn't being as careful or safe as should have been and I sliced deeply into my index finger. I'd post photos if I could so you could see how Celox really works.
So here's the situation, deep cut, lots of blood. No realistic/safe access to the hospital. Not life threatening as long as the bleeding can be stopped.
1. We assessed it. If it were a normal day, it would have been a 3-5 stitch job.
2. We applied pressure for 5min. - Still bleeding
3. We broke out the Celox and applied and put pressure down for 5min. - Still bleeding
4. Following Celox instructions we re-applied a 2nd time and after 5min. of pressure the bleeding stopped.
5. We called a family member who is a doctor and got his advice which was - make sure it's taped securely closed for a few days so it begins to heal ok, make sure there's no infection, after it is stable and not infected you can apply a bit of super glue to the outer portion of the cut(haven't gotten this far yet).
Observations:
1. The Celox didn't hurt AT ALL, I was thinking something a little sting........NOTHING, pretty good when there's that much blood everywhere you just expect more pain.
2. Don't pour Celox over the sink unless you have a paper towel in the bottom of the sink(remember it's a cuagulating product) almost reminds me of gelatin.
3. Once Celox drys, it's pretty rigid, it's almost like having a plastic protective cover over the wound.
4. Celox says you can leave this in place for up to 7days and the doctor said I could just let it absorb in. In my case I chose to remove it 24hours later becuase my finger was swelling enough it felt like it was going to split.
5. To remove the Celox, you just run under luke warm water and rub........it takes some time, but works nicely.
6. After removing the Celox, we closed the wound with a butterfly bandage and rolled one of those finger booties over it for the night so it would ooze all over our bedding.
7. Celox is not an end all be all, but it was perfect for what we needed it for. Which was to stop bleeding and stabilize a wound so we could later re-assess and get to a doctor if need be.
I wouldn't use Celox for everything, but it's a tool I would definately recommend having around and I believe this was the perfect showcase of what this product is for.
So what do I feel Celox did? It helped me stay calm. While initially there was a fair bit of blood I knew I had something to treat it. That was important. I knew as soon as it happened that I had a plan. Next it made the blood loss significantly less. I was not going to bleed to death from this wound, but I would rather not have a mountain of bloody paper towels all over. Again calm. It painlessly stopped the bleeding. It actually allowed me to find several spots that I didn't know were bleeding because after applying pressure it was easy to see the areas with the red gel and the dry powder. It allowed me to create a temporary bandage with just tape. It saved me a trip to the hospital. This might not be the best thing, it would probably heal better with a few stitches but I'll live either way.
I just finished ordering the 10 pack again. I will put a few more around the house and cars. Hope this helps.

The delivered product expires in July 2022. It is almost Jan 2020 now. So I have received something that is halfway through its shelf life.
I normally wouldn't grumble BUT it is very expensive once you factor in exchange rates and delivery to Australia. I expected better, or at least a warning so I can be better informed before going ahead with the purchase.
