Celox Applicator's unique mechanism of action explained
Effective in Strong Blood Flows
One of the key features of the Celox applicator is its effectiveness even in the face of strong blood flows. The granules quickly swell, stick together, and react with the blood to form a robust clot, staunching the flow, providing critical support during emergency situations. Its ability to perform in such demanding conditions highlights its value in emergency scenarios. Whether it’s a casualty in the field or a patient in a hospital, the Celox applicator is designed to handle strong blood flows, helping to manage bleeding efficiently.
Appropriate Users
Owing to its easy-to-use design and quick clotting ability, the Celox applicator has found extensive use among various user groups dealing with emergency situations. Military personnel often choose it as part of their field gear. In civilian life, it's an invaluable tool for first responders, often providing support during the golden hour following traumatic injuries. Hospitals use it in emergency departments and during surgical procedures where control of bleeding is critical. It also has applications in industrial first aid, being a staple in the first aid kits of high-risk workplaces such as construction sites and manufacturing plants.

How to use the Celox Applicator: Step-by step guide
Applying the Celox applicator effectively requires precise steps. Below is a comprehensive guide to using this essential tool:
Pre-Application Instructions
- Prepare the Wound: Start by cleaning the wound area as thoroughly as possible. This helps maintain a clean environment and allows for a better view of the injury.
- Unpack the Applicator: Open the waterproof packaging to expose the applicator. Handle it with care to maintain its sterility.
Application Instructions
Apply the Applicator: Position the applicator near the wound opening. Ensure it's angled to deliver the granules effectively to the wound area.
Release the Granules: Gently push the plunger to release the granules. These granules absorb fluid and adhere to the area, helping to form a protective barrier.
Remove the Applicator: After applying pressure to the wound, gently remove the applicator once the area appears stable.
Dress the Wound: Use sterile bandages or dressings to cover the wound and protect the site.
Ensuring quality and safety with Celox Applicator
Celox's distinction in the world of rapid haemostatic products is grounded in its tried-and-true effectiveness and high safety standards.
Safety features
The safety features of Celox are second to none. Its non-exothermic nature ensures that it doesn't generate heat upon application, reducing potential discomfort for the patient.
Compatibility with hypothermic blood and anticoagulants
It's noteworthy to mention that Celox performs efficiently with hypothermic (cold) blood and blood containing anticoagulants like Coumadin (warfarin). This is particularly crucial in emergency situations where patients may be on anticoagulant therapy or exposed to cold conditions.
The ability of the Celox applicator to perform under these circumstances differentiates it from other haemostatic products.
