CELOX - Traumatic Wound First Aid Packets, 6 Count

Me gustó que son dos piezas, no trae mucho polvo "agente hemostático" pero es funcional Abrí uno para probarlo y en herida poco profunda pero con mucho sangrado (dedos) sirvió bastante bien. Pronto compraré más para poner en mi EDC

Twice this year our heeler (dog) pulled a claw and bled like crazy, half an envelope of CELOX applied to the affected area completely stopped the bleeding. Fortunately I haven't cut myself enough to need this for myself (yet.)

I keep packs of CELOX in my trauma first aid kits. My wife cut DEEP into her pinky finger with an extremely sharp Japanese steel butcher knife just a few days ago. As soon as I saw the bleeding I knew I had to get the Celox. I've used it before to stop the bleeding on my dog's toenail quick, but this was a lot different. This was deep and almost a centimeter across right above the crease in the finger. Celox stopped the bleeding when we couldn't with pressure alone. I credit that to saving the finger and keeping the bloodflow contained to the fingertip while I was able to get a gauze wrap on it. Within minutes it gelled up and covered the wound. After the bleeding was stabilized, I used saline in a large syringe to soften the gel enough to remove it piece by piece with a pair of sterile tweezers. The wound was stable enough to apply steri-strips and no stitches were needed.

If you have a serious cut, this is very good to have around. I know.

This stuff is a game changer if you have serious bleeding.
