12. How is Celox used
Celox use is easy. Pour, Pack And Press.
Pour on to the area of the wound.
Pack any cavity with either Celox or gauze.
Press. Compress the wound to push the Celox into place and stop blood flow for a short period while the
Celox clot develops and strengthens.
The amount of time and pressure required depends on the pressure at which blood is coming out of the body.
For minor wounds, finger tip pressure for a few seconds should be adequate.
For severe bleeding strong pressure for up to 5 minutes or as long as reasonable in the circumstances, is
advised.
Should a wound start to rebreed (and you believe Celox was put over the bleeding area) then just hold
pressure for longer.
Additional packs can be used if required.
