CELOX Medical's Celox Z is a highly effective hemostatic gauze designed to rapidly stop severe bleeding in critical and tactical situations. It utilizes chitosan technology to support the quick formation of a stable clot, significantly reducing blood loss in conditions where standard methods may fail.
The gauze is recommended by the CoTCCC (Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care) and is used by NATO forces and rescue units globally. It is designed for use in environments where fast and reliable solutions are needed to control bleeding.
When applied with direct pressure, Celox Z helps form a clot to reduce bleeding. It is also effective in patients with clotting disorders, including those suffering from hypothermia or using anticoagulants. This makes it suitable for a wide range of field scenarios and emergency first aid applications.
