Combat Medical Celox™ RAPID

Celox™ RAPID is the fastest acting hemostatic dressing, reducing treatment time and blood loss. It packs faster, requires minimal post-application compression, reduces blood loss and provides greater stability in evacuation compared to traditional products. Celox™ RAPID is proven to stop bleeding independent of the clotting cascade, which is critical to survival in the hypovolemic, hypothermic or anticoagulated patient.  Celox™ RAPID gauze can be rapidly applied to a wound within half the time of competitive devices.1 This product has been proven in vivo testing to stop major arterial bleeding by coagulating blood within 1 minute, reducing additional blood loss.1

Celox™ RAPID gauze is suitable or:

• Severe high pressure bleeding
• Arterial and venous bleeding
• Bullet, blast, knife and shrapnel wounds
• Wound packing
• All topical bleeding wounds

• Requires minimal compression time compared to 3 minutes of compression for Combat Gauze. (per instructions for use)3
• Celox™ RAPID is the only hemostatic cleared by the FDA for one (1) minute of compression
• Celox™ RAPID gauze reduces blood loss by 60% compared to Combat Gauze.4
• Celox™ RAPID gauze uses the same chitosan technology as Celox™ gauze, which obtained highest observed survival of 90% versus 70% by Combat Gauze XL™ in US DOD testing.5
• Works independent of the clotting cascade
• Ideal treatment for tourniquet conversion of prolonged field care casualties
• Utilizes 60% less material compared to Combat Gauze to achieve better results 1,3
• Demonstrates significantly stronger clot formation after treatment at time intervals of 1 minute, 3 minutes and 20 minutes, in comparative testing against Chitogauze™ and Combat Gauze 4
• Improved hemostatic, proven to stop moderate to severe bleeding, even in coagulopathic patients 1
• 5’ Z-Fold packs faster than other 12’ competitive gauzes.1
• Less compression time compared to Combat Gauze2
• Demonstrates decreased secondary blood loss in comparison to Combat Gauze3
• Maintains volume and adhesion to wet tissue during use, helping it to stay in place during evacuation while maintaining hemostasis 4
