If there's too much blood you can cut the end off a syringe, cover the tip with your finger and back fill it with the granules if your hands are steady enough. Bigger the better.

I was bit by a dog, and used granulars to stop the bleeding. yes it works but once it stop it was very hard to irrigate the wounds for proper healing. It was painful cleaning that burned up stuff off my wounds. It did stop the bleeding. I will switch to the treated pads.

Hey SkinnyMedic, over here in Germany Celox or QuikClot is pretty expensive because it has to be imported and I can't find a German or European-made alternative. I read that most haemostatic agents are based on kaolin. Kaolin is cheaply available here, would you advise to sprinkle kaolin inside wounds? Maybe pack a wound with regular gauze while sprinkling it with kaolin? Or are there strong arguments against putting loose kaolin powder in deep wounds?

Those selfish shellfish. 👍 Great video.

Just a recommendation add a disclaimer for EMT's and Paramedics to check their protocols due to some states that once you are licensed everything you do has to be within protocols.

Great video really appreciate it! My question is what is the treatment after using Celox? Once bleeding has stopped, and can’t get to a hospital, what are the next steps I should take to close the wound and bandage?

So, I have a pack of Celox Granules I had from my last deployment in 2011. They feel almost solid in the package, but I can move them if I wiggle the package a bit. Is this stuff still good? It is tightly sealed and cared for. I Just don't want to open it as an experiment, but I would like to know if this is somethin I can keep in extremis. All my IFAKs now, have new (2019-2021) Celox guaze in them, but I don't want to waste the granules if they are still workable. Any advise on the longevity?

I talked with a PA about these products in extended emergency situations. I was told to leave it in place until you get to a doctor or hospital. Your body will just sluff it off like a scab, as you heal.

Ive seen this stuff poured on a wound of a pig they tested. They cut its femoral artery and let it bleed profusely for a few seconds, and then dumped it in the wound. It stopped the bleeding. Very impressive stuff. Dont know if it was this particular brand, but same granular clotting agent

It's patent protected, so probably Celox (or a copy from a country where they don't care about such things).

I am a former combat medic and I am selling IFAK kits now and I am using this product instead of quick clot in my kits.

I love you channel and came here originally from Sootch, About these granules, forgive me if you talked about this and I missed it - but don't I recall some doctors saying that using the granules was no longer recommended as they had to be more invasive when removing the clotted agent? Or did I misunderstand that? Thanks again, your channel is probably saving lives in more cases than you would ever know.

Incredible addition to any 1st aid kit!

I've seen this in action it works. Now I take meds for the heart that mess me up, bruising, thin skin, tears off like a band-aid, and will not stop bleeding in less than 10min. I have used quick clot on those areas works, then wrap it and go back to work. I carry a packet in my lunch box , my question is : how long can the stuff work after opening the bag? mine is 3 mo. old now used it 4x and seems to be fine, is it going to absorb bugs or infectious crap into the wound. Yes get some blood work and get the meds leveled out, work is insurance, no work no insurance.I like your videos, AAR are my favorites.

This is a good video we need to know how and when to use all the trauma kit items

SM, one question, they say celox is dangerous in case of direct eye contact, is that true ? it is said it burns, not sure if such a thing is true, I appreciate your info about this. Thanks!!

@neatpete2240

7 жыл бұрын

To your question: If it comes in contact with your eyes it will bind the water on it and also some of the tear liquid following on a drying eye. That's what causes the burning and also can damage the eye. Why: Celox works on a physical basis. It is based on chitosan, a polymer obtained from crab shell. The polymer is able to bind large amounts of water and entangle among themselves. This entanglement forms a strong network leaving behind a gel clot which stops the bleeding. Some more information about gel networks: There are physical and chemical networks. Physical networks like chitosan gain their strength from entanglement of the single polymer chains. No chemical bonds are created and therefore no heat generated. Chemical networks are created by reactions that connect the polymer chains resulting in a gel. Often these reactions are exothermic, meaning they generate heat and could potentially damage tissue.

I wish I could afford to have a good kit in my car. Money is tight, and a decent kit can cost over $100 bucks for something that may never get used.

Celox, from what I understand, is a great product and is saving lives. It is still under patent, so no generics are for sale at a competitive price. When does their patent run out so that the material can be manufactured at a lower price?

Biochemistry is so beautiful 😍

I have a questions I was hoping someone could answer: Let's say I'm in a scenario where I cannot get to a doctor/hospital after I stopped the bleeding using Celox. I'm either out hiking god knows where or it's a complete SHTF scenario (No, I'm not that stupid I would ever go hiking that far without a backup, just imagine). How will I treat the wound after that? Will the granules get dissolved by the body as it heals? Do I need to clean it out before stitching everything back together? I have no medical experience in this field so I would never attempt it, but I'm interested in the aftermath.

According to the manufacturer, you can wash it out. Obviously best done in a sterile environment! It seems to be pretty "safe" and easy to use with very few warnings associated. www.celoxmedical.com for more info. Caveat: I'm not a medic and I've never used it.

@gunlover5564

I can tell you as a paramedic that the primary goal is to stop the bleed. The other guys said “get to a hospital” but you clearly said what if they isn’t an immediate choice. If it’s bad enough, keep it covered. Don’t ever take the pressure dressing off, especially if it’s an arterial bleed because then you will Potentiate the clotting process, and even then expose the wound to bacteria causing an infection then you will be up shit creek. All I can say is that if you’re out alone and have no medical supplies at all And you’re using this for the scenario and if it’s a heavy bleed, then put this on with direct pressure with multiple 4x4 gauze and killing gauze. If it continues to bleed, rip your shirt, find a sticky and create a tourniquet tight enough to just stop the bleed. Even if the gauze is covered in blood do NOT remove it. Just keep adding more gauze and hopefully that will stop the bleeding enough for you to find help.

thanks for the work you put into these videos, hope you get a ton more subscribers!

So you are not supposed to use quick clot on the chest. What about the stomach

could the granules enter the bloodstream via a vessel? If so how bad would that be?

So say I apply this to a wound to prevent bleeding and it works, then what? Do you wash the wound out? Does it dissolve on it own? How would you stitch the wound back up?

Just remember and maybe something to mention...Celox or other Hemostatic Granules are not CoTccc approved

How would you decide packing the wound with celox guage or packing with just granules? Is one way more effective?

Nice one, cheers. Just make sure its not windy I guess

Hey bud, using these granules on arm or leg wounds which are profusely bleeding, is that possible also? As I heard you say that its best to work around groin or armpit areas? Also, can hemostatic gauze be used on torso wounds instead of chest seals etc?

Let sit until room temperature and place on nice hot grill for 3.5 minutes on each side. Feel free to rotate 90 degrees for them diamond grill marks.

Hey just wondering if you might explain why you are putting pressure on the wound for a few minutes before applying the trauma dressing? Is there an issue with applying the celox granules, packing the would with gauze and immediately wrapping in a pressure dressing?

Why need this when there is Flex Tape?

We used WOUNDCLOT now... Celox Washington à little bit "ils school" now.

Thanks for the information on the use of haemostatic powder. It was very helpful.

I know I'm a couple of years late lol but when you get to a safe place or what not, do you have to clean the powder out and bandage? Or .. I'm assuming this is to hold the patient off until.. surgery?

is this the same as quickclot?

may I ask what would be the best thing to use - nat gauze , some non-woven pads, bloostopper ''cederroth'' or hemostatic pads (not hemostatic gauze) - to apply direct pressure to control bleeding? Minor bleeding. I guess for a major bleeding we either pack a wound and then wrap it with the israeli bandage or apply a hemostatic gauze and wrap it with a bandage (any bandage I suspect) or as a last resort tourniquet. I mean... for a not so serious laceration, I am sure we need something non-adherent and sterile and smth that has absorbent properties. And smth that is not very thin. Are the options Ive outlined above reasonable or there are way better options? Thank You so much.

thanks SM, I learned something. You mentioned doing something else if the celox and 5 minutes of direct pressure did not work, what would that something else be?
