He had a mass bulging out under his right mandible which looked like a bunch of large grapes with bearded skin stretched tightly over them. The mass was smooth and lumpy and about the size of a large grapefruit.…

One of the worker’s biceps had been punctured and his arm was bleeding internally (turned out his artery had been nicked, no exit though). He was screaming and yelling so the crew…

We packed the wound out with Celox Gauze, applied…

The Celox applicator that I used was very easy. I actually primed the end of the barrel a little to make sure that it was not clogged. I inserted it about 2 inches into the wound and inserted all of its contents without any problems in about 1 second. The wound was a blast injury…

I finally got to try CELOX and was very impressed. Had a casualty in a controlled environment with a deep femoral bleed. A tourniquet was initially placed on the wound. The wound was wiped out with Kerlix and CELOX was poured into the wound. The tourniquet was removed, whilst direct pressure was applied to the…

I have used your product in the real world and it works great, plus the price and performance is twice that of the competitive products. I am trying hard to get my command on board but do not have any left on me to show them. I only had three packages and used them all.…

Some of my medics used CELOX a few weeks ago and were very impressed with its clotting capability. We only had one re-bleed but that was because the medic didn’t actually visualize the site and simply poured the packet into the wound cavity. Repositioning the patient so the CELOX came in contact with the wounded…
