I don't know if your looking at the powder or the insert. My cardiologist bought the first pack of powder I bought to take on a hunting trip in the wild. I have never used the powder, but read that its the latest ER & battle wound treatment. I take blood thinners and carry these in my first aid kits. The insert is one for deep punctures from knife wounds or gun shots.

I just read your question again. This stuff is dirt cheap-buy fresh and be safe.

They have expiration dates- about 2 years from manufacturing date, but as with many med supplies, those are very conservative date estimates, though, again, you run a voluntary risk of relying upon it after the said date. If it stays in its package sterility should not be an issue, but the company makes no promises for efficacy after the expiration. Personally, I don't mind hanging onto the old ones, as a first try, and if they aren't effective, break open a new one. As for wound size, I'd say it could handle a pretty good gash, of up to 4" wide by up to 1" deep. It's not made for deeper wounds; for those, you'll want to get the Celox-A, which has a plunger to shoot the celox into a deep wound. An alternative for deep puncture wounds is a tampon- made to soak up blood and fit a narrow channel. Lots of military medics carry them for bullet wounds. Celox has the advantage of drying up the blood plasm thus enabling blood platelets to do their job and then dissolve harmlessly into the body.

As the Celox site states: We have tested and proven that Celox will still pass its original specification after 3 years ageing. Will it still work after that? Yes. If this is all I had, it would still be better than nothing, even if I blew my leg off. But, as advertised, think stab, blast, or gunshot wound.

Approximately 2 years. What I just purchased expires 6/15. Google Woundseal and go to the manufacturer's website and learn how it works.

Would recommend taking pet to see a vet. EMT Gel is designed for surface wounds, not deep cuts.......

I live on a Farm....we use it for every wound on every animal. The gel works best for me, because I can put it on my hand...then smear it on a wound. This also works for placement in the eyes. Now, Remember.... all animal's hate "Spray"...squirt it at or on an animal once, bet you wont do it twice. I have purchased the spray when the gel was not available....but used it the same way. Hope this Helps.

Yes. I used it on my 2 year old's cut a few months ago. Works great because you can cut it to whatever size you need, it's waterproof and the wounds heal so much quicker!

It works well to remove warts or skin tags or small moles. However, after using the product a red blister about the size of a dime will result. The blister heals within 7 to 10 days, but a red mark can remain for weeks. I have used this product over several years and it has never left a permanent scar, but you will definitely have a red mark for 4 to 6 weeks. It's up to you if you want that on your face. Good Luck

Hi - I am not very certain on how long it can last, it really depends on how much you use it at times and how manny times per day. I use it in the morning and at night, and little goes long way. I rub it on my entire face bit then I take extra and put around eyes area, let my skin absorb it. I also found it works nice for smile lines and I also put it on my lips. What it does, it helps your skin retain water/hydra ration in these areas. I notice my skin is more plump in those areas now but don't expect it to just erase wrinkles. I use a lot of this product, but I am estimating it will last me at least 2-3 months.

Not sure I can answer your question since I believe your question centers on the expiration date of the pills YOU buy? I will tell you that I have been using this stuff with my dog for a few years and it works...especially because he's a giant breed.

I dont know. This tape is great, because it does not have the adhesive back. I have been using it on a wound for seven months and it has been good.

i have been using .05 mm for a few months, i didnt see much results. i switch to 1mm and saw results in 3months. also i am using dermpen/stamp. i am only working with 1 scar, and i dont stamp on good skin, only on deep atrophic scars. also when using this follow up wit neosporin for 1-2days. after the wound is healed, go head and use your vitamin c+e hyralunic acid serum. and take 1000mg vitamin C daily the day off the rolling. you can go to acne.org for complete regimines and sucess stories. Goodluck besafe

I did not apply a pad to the gel....I used it to seal the wound long enough to get to the vet. It did a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to use it again, in emergency. For your pet, I don't know the extent of the wound or the reason for bleeding, but please take him/her to the vet as soon as possible. This gel is a temp fix. It is very sticky, like glue, and you may be aggravating the wound each time you redress. Please note how much blood he/she has lost and check for emergency clinic need. Better safe than sorry.

Hi there!I absolutely think a two hour swim would be just fine. Just make sure you have enough of the adhesive part around the wound. I would say about at least an inch and a half to two inches around, otherwise it can come lose. So you can get a bigger size that you just use for when you're swimming. Good Luck!

It would be January 2018.Witch is more than considerable time,since i've already had to use one on a large knife wound....Not saying that's a good thing,but it works.

I wouldn't use on an open wound. I use as instructed by my physical therapist (after breaking my wrist) to put on my scar to help reduce its appearance.

I don't know, but, would assume 72 hours to cure would be sufficient. Just a guess. God luck

I agree that you should check with your doctor, but it is designed to cover wounds and allow them to heal. In my case, the wound was not appropriate for direct use, but my skin was so sensitive to tape that we used this product as the vehicle to adhere dressing tape to so that my skin only had to deal with the removal of this product every 5-7 days instead of tape 3 times a day. This product was recommended to my nurse by my surgeon.

I've used this product for years and this is what I order. Be aware that this is not what you would want to get on an unhealed wound/cut.....it stings. The only time I buy from local stores is when they have a 25% off on the twin boxes. (I think the cost depends on what firm is offering the item)
