Celox™ Z-Fold Gauze, 10 Ft

All good. Thank you.

I'm on a blood thinner and an anti-coagulant due to a heart attack 2 years ago. I have small vericose veins on my right foot due to the blood clots in my right leg. T Once in a while one of these veins will break without notice (until I see all the blood) and can be extremely difficult to stop with just applied pressure, sometimes 10 to 15 minutes. Used a 3 inch strip of Celox cut from the roll from package, applied it to the vein along with mild pressure and had it completely under control within 1 minute. The clotting agent Celox will not cause clots within the vein because it is potato starch derived and is easily absorbed within the body. It also washes off easily with water in order to remove the gauze later. This last 2 sentences are not true with the 2 products 'Wound Seal' and 'Pro QR' as they are chemicaly different.

Celox is one of the better clotting / blood control gauzes. Expensive, but when needed, it is needed and d*mn the cost. John in Indy

My dad is a dialysis patient. He is also on blood thinners. So he has a hard time clotting. This works very well. The dialysis center said they use to use gel foam sponges, but the cost is pricey. There insurance won’t use it on the patients. It’s a plus to have at home and in auto. It does work very well. I purchased 4 different package sizes, for Home, for auto, for dads dialysis bag& I put 1 in my truck.

For compact kits you want the ribbon version, but space allowing, this is the next Celox product I'd add to a kit. I've used this stuff before, and it lives up to all the hype. Bleeding is one of those things that can't wait for anything and this is something that is cave man proof and works. Obviously it costs more than regular gauze, but I've personally just stopped carrying any other brand of gauze since anything gauze is made for in first aid works better with Celox.
