Celox Z-Fold Gauze Dressings are specially folded for ease of use and fast
application to the wound site to reduce blood loss. The Hemostatic Gauze is
intended to stop bleeding with 3 minutes compression due to the Celox Granules
bonded to the gauze.
Celox Granules are made from chitosan. Chitosan is a non-allergenic, highly
purified polymer derived from shellfish. Chitosan has been tested to be safe
for people with shellfish allergies. The Hemostatic Granules function in the
presence of anticoagulation medications such as Coumadin, Warfarin, Heparin,
Plavix or Pradaxa. As the Celox Blood Clotting Agent functions independently of
the body's clotting factors, it is effective for hemophiliacs and hypothermic
blood. Celox Hemostatic Products do not generate heat and will not inhibit
wound healing.
