Celox: How much (in grams) Celox would you use on a severe bleeding wound such as a gunshot, compund fracture, severed appendage or limb?
647192
I know this is an old question, but celox now makes a plunger kit specifically for gunshot and stab wounds. If the 35 gram pack won't do it, your probably dead. Also, you mention severed appendages/limbs. A severed limb, you need a good tourniquet, end of story. The celox may help some, but it wont stop that much bleeding. It may help with a finger, but it wont be able to be used on it's own you still need dressing and pressure for that kind of wound.

Acetaminophen 650 mg per tablet. Also carnauba wax, cellulose, corn starch, magnesium stearate, povidone, triacitin. Hope this helps!

I think about 3 milliamp. Bites hard. Jolts hard. No long term harm. Burns paper fast (dumb test)!

Frances:Do not know for sure but using 2 tabs daily brought my wife's hemaglobin from 9 to 14 which is almost normal for a senior citizen. She was getting a Procrit injection because her hemoglobin was 7, Then Medicare would not approved Procrit unless she was hospitalized and we started on this product rather than another stay in the Hospital. We still use it. Best of luckJohn J.

I don't know the extent of the injury but I applied quite a lot of the gel directly to the wound and it helped the bleeding.

I am sorry but I didn't actually open them, but added them to our survival kits. In a gunshot trauma course I recently took, I learned that the quickclot 'guaze' is the newest thing and saw a video on how to use it. The guaze is actually designed to be packed inside the wound and removed in the ER. Sorry I couldn't have a better answer, but the gauze is actually what you want.

I really do not know, BUT this stuff works great! Doctor couldn't stop diabetic foot would from bleeding, wound seal did it in about two days has not bled since!!

I really don't know. It is to stop active bleeding. We have used it only on skin tears.

According to the ChlesLo site it has 746.50 MGS of a Patent Pending Blend of stuff plus a few more MGS of vitamins that total to 12.825 MGS. I suggest you go to the ChlesLo website for specifics.

Hi, I am not in medical field but I can tell you this: I would have this product with me when I'm going into mountains miles away from civilization. If i ever was injured with heavy bleeding far away from medical assistance and I have to drag myself out by myself.. I won't care doctor or medic has to clean up my wound before appropriate treatment. I would rather get out of whatever the situation alive, see my family alive.Since i own the product already, I will make sure to have it in my pack. I am sure i will regret it if i dont, if i ever was injured and cant control bleeding. Tho, it might only be 10min or less that I have to regret.

I'm a retired medic and what your uncle says about cleaning the wound after using quick clot is true; however, in those rare cases where there is uncontrolled bleeding and pressure don't stop the bleeding i.e a lacerated femoral artery this stuff works. The Dr has to flush the wound to wash out the quick clot but that's better than doing nothing more than trying to clamp the artery or applying pressure.

I don't remember. that was a long time ago. I think it was 250mg. I'd go by what's written and not by the pic.

You'll gush blood everywhere, I'll say you have about eight minutes to live after you get hit by one of these. Maybe nine, that's stretching it though. Count your blessings if you're getting shot at with this.

I'm sorry, it's been some time since I've used the product. I think it was 800 mgs, but I'm not certain. I suggest checking out the website for more information on the product.

500 mg time release. I believe this can thin your blood so check with physician befpre using unless it was recommended by your physician in a particular dose. My physician recommended the appropriate dose for me, which is different (lower) than what is on the product label.

We covered this in EMT training recently, and the First Response has more of the active hemostatic agent.For what it's worth, all of our local squads carry QuickClot Combat Gauze.
