Celox quick clot agent.

 

I've been sent a clip of the Celox quick clot agent.

 

I have been informed by the distributors that this pig was on its way to slaughter and was subdued at the time of filming.

Please don't watch this if you may be offended

Let me know what you think.

Cost £14.00 + VAT

I'm not watching that! Hopefully someone else will review it...

[firewoodman]

looks good and effective.

 

the vid is no worse than theatrical special fx.

 

is the product medically approved?

[Mr Ed]

Thats pretty incredible stuff. Looks ideal for bad chainsaw wounds. Oh yeah, if your squemish, dont watch....

[Jonesie]

is the product medically approved?

 

Yes from what i know it has a 100% success rate with the US military.

[firewoodman]

what does it cost?

 

that could become a major lifesaver

[Jonesie]

Cost £14.00 + VAT for a one use pack.

Looks like one of those that'll do the job when nothing else will touch it. Hopefully it'll stay on the shelf and go out of date, but if not it'll probably get them them to hospital, and not DOA.

 

If there wasn't such a massive welfare issue, I'd be interested in seeing it on a big raggy chainsaw style cut, rather than a tightly contained arterial bleed.

Impressive clotting, who knows how many large ambulance dressing you would get through on that one?

i have just got 4 packs from our local stihl dealer 1 for each vehicle altthough i hope never to try it i believe it has a 3 year shelf life

I was looking at this at the APF, my plan is to use double sided sticky tape to stick a sachet to the inside of a new helmet, it lasts 3 years same as the hat.

At the end of 3 years I hope to bin both!!
