Description

Celox™ RAPID is the fastest acting hemostatic dressing, reducing treatment time and blood loss. It packs faster, requires minimal post-application compression, reduces blood loss and provides greater stability in evacuation compared to traditional products. Celox™ RAPID is proven to stop bleeding independent of the clotting cascade, which is critical to survival in the hypovolemic, hypothermic or anticoagulated patient. Celox™ RAPID gauze can be rapidly applied to a wound within half the time of competitive devices.¹ This product has been proven in vivo testing to stop major arterial bleeding by coagulating blood within 1 minute, reducing additional blood loss.¹

Celox™ RAPID gauze is suitable for:

• Severe high pressure bleeding
• Arterial and venous bleeding
• Bullet, blast, knife and shrapnel wounds
• Wound packing
• All topical bleeding wounds

Capabilities

• Requires minimal compression time compared to 3 minutes of compression for Combat Gauze. (per instructions for use)³
• Celox™ RAPID is the only hemostatic cleared by the FDA for one (1) minute of compression
• Celox™ RAPID gauze reduces blood loss by 60% compared to Combat Gauze.⁴
• Celox™ RAPID gauze uses the same chitosan technology as Celox™ gauze, which obtained highest observed survival of 90% versus 70% by Combat Gauze XL™ in US DOD testing.⁵
