CELOX stops bleeding immediately by using exactly what the U.S. military uses on the battlefield. When Celox granules come in contact with blood, Celox swells, gels, and sticks together to make a gel-like clot. Celox bonds with red blood cells and gels with fluids to produce a sticky pseudo clot, which sticks well to moist tissue to plug the bleeding site. Celox does not set off the normal clotting cascade, it only clots the blood it comes directly into contact with. Celox’s clotting ability has been proven to work in the presence of common anticoagulants such as warfarin and heparin. Rapidly clots hypothermic (cold) blood. www.celoxmedical.com.
