When to Seek Medical Assistance
It's essential to recognise when to seek medical advice or attention when dressing wounds and using first aid scissors. Here are some situations in which you should consider seeking medical advice:
- Deep Wounds: If a cut or wound is deep, regardless of its size, it may require professional evaluation and potential stitches to promote proper healing.
- Excessive Bleeding: If bleeding from a wound doesn't stop with direct pressure within a reasonable timeframe, or if it's profuse, medical attention is necessary.
- Infection Signs: If you notice signs of infection around a wound, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or discharge, consult a healthcare provider.
- Foreign Objects: If a foreign object is embedded in the skin or wound, do not attempt to remove it yourself; seek medical help.
- Animal or Human Bites: Bites from animals or humans, especially if they puncture the skin, require professional evaluation to prevent infection.
- Puncture Wounds: Wounds caused by a puncture, like stepping on a nail, should be examined by a medical professional to prevent complications.
- Chronic Medical Conditions: If you have underlying medical conditions that affect wound healing, such as diabetes, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on wound care.
- Allergic Reactions: If you suspect an allergic reaction to materials you've been in contact with, including bandages or dressings, seek immediate medical attention.

The Versatility of Celox Granules in Wound Care
Tailored for High-Risk Scenarios
Celox Haemostatic Granules are primarily designed for use in high-risk, life-threatening situations where rapid bleeding control is crucial. They have demonstrated effectiveness in managing severe bleeding, be it from a traumatic injury or in a surgical setting. This makes them an invaluable addition to first-aid kits for environments such as hospitals, emergency medical services, military combat zones, and other high-risk scenarios.
Using Celox for Complex and Irregular Wounds
Traditional methods of stopping bleeding can be ineffective on irregularly shaped or puncture wounds. Celox Haemostatic Granules, on the other hand, excel in such scenarios.
Removing Celox Post-Application: An Easy Process
The convenience of Celox doesn't stop at the application. Once the bleeding has been controlled, and professional medical attention is available, the granules can be easily removed. The granules are designed to form a gel-like clot that adheres to the wound surface. This clot can be gently rinsed or wiped away with sterile water or saline solution, leaving no residue and minimising any discomfort during the cleaning process.
