Description:
A layered tactical dressing used for rapid hemorrhage arrest. The dressing combines a binding substance with a backing such as gauze. The technology used means that the smaller volume of the dressing does not affect its effectiveness in stopping bleeding. Celox dressings prevent blood loss caused by damaged blood vessels.
It is intended for the containment of moderate to severe life-threatening bleeding by preventing blood loss from damaged blood vessels (including arteries). It should be used when conventional methods of stopping bleeding (direct compression) prove ineffective or if access to the bleeding site is not possible.
The Z-folded haemostatic plug, covered with Celox haemostatic preparation, allows easy and precise execution of the dressing. The arrangement of the backing material used allows the volume of the dressing to be reduced while maintaining the effectiveness of the bleeding control. The shorter, layered fold facilitates application and reduces application time. The easy-to-store camouflage coloured packaging contains a 150 cm long gauze strip folded in layers.
Specifications:
The special substance contained in these dressings - chitosan - causes haemostasis by closing the bleeding areas through the formation of a fast clot on contact with blood (after about 3 minutes from the moment of application), which does not dissolve even after washing the wound with saline solution.
Cheitosan. Chitosan also acts on hypothermic blood as well as heparinised blood. CELOX dressings have a bactericidal effect, thus protecting the wound from infection, and are also safe because they do not cause an exothermic reaction and do not stick to the wound.
For correct and safe use of the dressing, prior training is required!
