CELOX Vascular™ is a chitosan-based hemostatic pad that works independently of the body’s normal clotting cascade to clot blood even where normal clotting is inhibited. Pressing Celox Vascular to the puncture site prevents blood loss as the Celox granules absorb water in the blood to form a robust gel plug. Battle-tested by the U.S. Military, CELOX has been shown to result in 100% survival in independent US Marine Corps’ bleeding tests.
