CELOX© is a high performance chitosan-derived haemostatic designed to stop lethal bleeding fast. Easy to use and extremely fast and effective, it does not generate heat and will not burn the casualty or care giver. CELOX works independently of the body's normal clotting processes and has been proven to work in hypothermic conditions and in the presence of common anticoagulants such as Coumadin and Heparin.

When placed directly into a bleeding wound and subjected to pressure, the positively charged CELOX granules cross-link with negatively charged red blood cells, forming a sticky pseudo clot that blocks blood flow. This clot sticks well to moist tissue to plug the bleeding site.

CELOX is made of chitosan, a compound derived from shrimp shells. Chitosan has proven antimicrobial properties and is broken down and absorbed through normal metabolic pathways and has an extensive history of use in vascular closure and in human cardiac surgery. CELOX also has a history of use in emergency, military, and retail first aid with no reported incidents.
