- Celox hemostat granules are quick to apply, just pour the granules into the injury, before applying pressure and stopping the bleeding. For major arterial hemorrhage, maintain pressure for 3-5 minutes to ensure hemorrhage is controlled. Celox uses Chitosan for the hemostatic agent.

Good info. Might add it to my car aid kit.
Thanks
The wife is gonna be pissed when she sees what you have done to her stew meat.
Noice
I just got this recommended in 'Recipes' section.
Hilarious
Incroyable.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Celox steak 🥩 😋
And again, I love the "selfish" out-takes. You really do make it easier for us to handle all this learning, by showing you aren't perfect, either, and that with practice, we can get good enough to save lives.
In prehospital or outdoor situations wind can really send those granules everywhere. Thats why I like the gauze. Great product.
Incroyable.
So we should pack the wound with the treated gauze and keep applying pressure until help arrives?
This is the video is the reason I iwn at least $1,000 in Celox patches, granules, packing & a multitude of other clotting agents, a "medical stapler, My aunt's a nurse and I bugged her every holiday we visited untill she brought me downstairs and showd me this rubber arm thing that has different levels of bleeding (it like a adult vsersonnof doctor with just a realistic arm where I learned how to stitch amd where she gave me this what she called a medical stapler (looks like a regular old silver stapler to Me).
This is when I was planning on becoming a medic. Good skills to have and I've learned so much more from these videos. Such a great channel.
So does that make this Surf and Turf? :)
Ooh sootch Lol
well played sir, well played.
I'm a fan of your channel!
...but how does it work as a meat tenderizer and seasoning 😀? I'm going to skip your dinner invitation. Nice vid, great info, thank you.
no one wants to eat roast at my house now
Thank you for the demo. Very helpful.
Thank you for the support!
im dissapointed, i thought this was a " how to make a fleshlight toturial "
Celox now advises against using the crystals direct, as it cause burns. In fact I believe they no longer sell the granules but instead sell gauze and pads
Yeah that was the same thing when I was in the Marines we used a clotting agent similar to that and they said to try to use a tourney then apply the clot agent to a gauze. They then started supplying combat gauze with some already embedded
I take it that this method you just discussed would work for most brands of clotting agents. Very good video by the way.
If there's too much blood you can cut the end off a syringe, cover the tip with your finger and back fill it with the granules if your hands are steady enough. Bigger the better.
With a gash that deep im pretty sure you could skip pressure and go straight to the celox mate
would this work on a stage 4 pressure ulcer in the center lower back?
@@fallback8314 ill be honest with you, I have no idea whatsoever as to what I was thinking when commented this two years ago, might've been my poor attempt at a joke but I have no idea as to whether or not it'd work on a stage 4 pressure ulcer in the center lower back.
Im just another blithering idiot on the internet
Hey Man! I'm a new subscriber. I've spent a lot of today with ya, watching your vids. I am taking away a heck of a lot of good tips here. I am a person on blood thinners for the rest of my life and I have BIG TIME clotting issues. This video especially has made me realize how ill prepared I am for a serious bleeding event. I am going to get on top of this asap!!! My new friend, I truly believe that the info here could (more like probably will) save my life someday........ Thank you, and best of all things to you and yours!
Thank you!
A waste of a perfectly good eye roast. You should have just traveled to Camden N.J. and stood on any corner of any street and you would have had a live training aid in no time. You would have had to use real gloves though.
Gregg Goss ..I was thinkn tht,, 😨
He doesn't want to get popped himself!
I was bit by a dog, and used granulars to stop the bleeding. yes it works but once it stop it was very hard to irrigate the wounds for proper healing. It was painful cleaning that burned up stuff off my wounds. It did stop the bleeding. I will switch to the treated pads.
Thank you for your remarkable video.
I never fail to learn something from your channel...Subscribed.
Hey SkinnyMedic, over here in Germany Celox or QuikClot is pretty expensive because it has to be imported and I can't find a German or European-made alternative. I read that most haemostatic agents are based on kaolin. Kaolin is cheaply available here, would you advise to sprinkle kaolin inside wounds? Maybe pack a wound with regular gauze while sprinkling it with kaolin? Or are there strong arguments against putting loose kaolin powder in deep wounds?
Great video really appreciate it! My question is what is the treatment after using Celox? Once bleeding has stopped, and can’t get to a hospital, what are the next steps I should take to close the wound and bandage?
VERY good tutorial, basic simple, direct and to the point. Well done.
Great video. You are doing an awesome job with your channels!
Thank you sir!
I have a patient scheduled this Thursday for oral surgery. She suffers from Von Willebrand's disease. We have a protocol from her physician but I'm bringing some Celox to the surgery just in case. Let's hope I don't have to use it
Starving children in Africa could've eaten that hemostatic agent.
Awesome video!👍
I like the ending! Shows you have humility. Thanks dude. Great info. Been putting a kit together.
I agree SM, it's always better to be alive and swollen than dead and not. Also, just a production value note: better that you face the sun with it behind the camera so that we can see your face when you're wearing a baseball cap so you don't have to use any lighting equipment outside. PS - always GR8 info and insight. thx again.
Celox, from what I understand, is a great product and is saving lives. It is still under patent, so no generics are for sale at a competitive price. When does their patent run out so that the material can be manufactured at a lower price?
I've seen this in action it works. Now I take meds for the heart that mess me up, bruising, thin skin, tears off like a band-aid, and will not stop bleeding in less than 10min. I have used quick clot on those areas works, then wrap it and go back to work. I carry a packet in my lunch box , my question is : how long can the stuff work after opening the bag? mine is 3 mo. old now used it 4x and seems to be fine, is it going to absorb bugs or infectious crap into the wound. Yes get some blood work and get the meds leveled out, work is insurance, no work no insurance.I like your videos, AAR are my favorites.
This is a good video we need to know how and when to use all the trauma kit items
Can you comment on the differnce between the expensive Celox & the 5 dollar 2 pack version from walmart called Bleed Stop. I have followed your videos and have built a pretty cool trauma bag based on your videos. Thank you for your time in making the videos and I would love to see a video about the difference between the two if any. Celox is expensive and the Bleed Stop is quite affordable. Ps You've inspired me to get my EMT certification, not for a career, but just to improve myself. Thank You.
Doing God's work here.
Thanks med.
Great videos Skinny, I always learn something new from you. I do have a question for you, I'm sure it's not an easy answer but its something that's always on my mind......In a total worst case scenario where there are no hospitals, doctors, surgeons etc. what is a person supposed to do? In a case where say the femoral artery is severed, you've got the blood stopped but now what you do? I was hoping maybe you could give some input on this scenario.....
More thank likely your going to have a dead body .. you need a vascular surgeon ... If the lose of blood doesn't kill them then infection will
Pray
Finally....the answer I was looking for. That's what I thought.😢
Ive seen this stuff poured on a wound of a pig they tested. They cut its femoral artery and let it bleed profusely for a few seconds, and then dumped it in the wound. It stopped the bleeding.
Very impressive stuff. Dont know if it was this particular brand, but same granular clotting agent
It's patent protected, so probably Celox (or a copy from a country where they don't care about such things).
if you got arterial bleeding, you're not gonna dry anything with a 4x4
Those selfish shellfish. 👍
Great video.
Enjoy all your vids, they are very well done and informative. Can Celox be used on: Head, neck, and torso severe bleeding as well? Thnx.
I'm getting light headed watching these videos. Probably going to have nightmares. Any advice on how I can at least try to keep it together and control myself in an emergency?
Either way I really, really do appreciate what you are doing.
Just a recommendation add a disclaimer for EMT's and Paramedics to check their protocols due to some states that once you are licensed everything you do has to be within protocols.
I bet you are a lot of fun at parties.
If it’s pouring out blood, how will the crystals stay in place? Wouldn’t gauze with the hemostatic built in be better?
So, I have a pack of Celox Granules I had from my last deployment in 2011. They feel almost solid in the package, but I can move them if I wiggle the package a bit. Is this stuff still good? It is tightly sealed and cared for. I Just don't want to open it as an experiment, but I would like to know if this is somethin I can keep in extremis. All my IFAKs now, have new (2019-2021) Celox guaze in them, but I don't want to waste the granules if they are still workable. Any advise on the longevity?
I love the re-takes at the end. Had me laughing. Thanks for the video, and all the great info!
So why is it not advised to wound-pack in the torso? Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm new to all this and trying to learn. Thanks!
Basicly the chest cavity is so large that it would just eat all your gauze. Also you could risk damaging organs.
@@mattriley8175 - Yeah, after researching a bit I found the same - too much of a hollow cavity and too much risk of putting pressure on vital organs. Thanks for the response - I think perhaps a trauma class is in order if I really want to become knowledgeable about this stuff. 👍
Hi Skinny Medic… wonder if Chitosan can be used way past best date? Thank you😊
I have a questions I was hoping someone could answer:
Let's say I'm in a scenario where I cannot get to a doctor/hospital after I stopped the bleeding using Celox. I'm either out hiking god knows where or it's a complete SHTF scenario (No, I'm not that stupid I would ever go hiking that far without a backup, just imagine).
How will I treat the wound after that? Will the granules get dissolved by the body as it heals? Do I need to clean it out before stitching everything back together? I have no medical experience in this field so I would never attempt it, but I'm interested in the aftermath.
According to the manufacturer, you can wash it out. Obviously best done in a sterile environment! It seems to be pretty "safe" and easy to use with very few warnings associated. www.celoxmedical.com for more info. Caveat: I'm not a medic and I've never used it.
I can tell you as a paramedic that the primary goal is to stop the bleed. The other guys said “get to a hospital” but you clearly said what if they isn’t an immediate choice. If it’s bad enough, keep it covered. Don’t ever take the pressure dressing off, especially if it’s an arterial bleed because then you will Potentiate the clotting process, and even then expose the wound to bacteria causing an infection then you will be up shit creek. All I can say is that if you’re out alone and have no medical supplies at all And you’re using this for the scenario and if it’s a heavy bleed, then put this on with direct pressure with multiple 4x4 gauze and killing gauze. If it continues to bleed, rip your shirt, find a sticky and create a tourniquet tight enough to just stop the bleed. Even if the gauze is covered in blood do NOT remove it. Just keep adding more gauze and hopefully that will stop the bleeding enough for you to find help.
great learnig video. For a deep slash or punctury wound to the torso either front or back, would you still not use Celox or some other variant? Thanks.
Incredible addition to any 1st aid kit!
I love you channel and came here originally from Sootch, About these granules, forgive me if you talked about this and I missed it - but don't I recall some doctors saying that using the granules was no longer recommended as they had to be more invasive when removing the clotted agent? Or did I misunderstand that? Thanks again, your channel is probably saving lives in more cases than you would ever know.
What happens after something like this is used? Does it have to be surgically removed or what would the next step be say after the person arrived at the hospital
It can be washed out, according to www.celoxmedical.com.
how does surgeons deal with this when the patient is back in safe hands ? Wash it out? scrape it out ?
I am a former combat medic and I am selling IFAK kits now and I am using this product instead of quick clot in my kits.
What are the pros and cons of the granules vs gauze?
Thank you as always.
Granulated is better for cuts
If it's a severe enough injury to need celox would providing pressure in a more direct area? Say a laceration, applying pressure on the internal parts and holding whatever artery down?
Genuine question, nice video :)
Thanks for making the video...
Question: After you soak up most of the blood in the wound with some gauze. then remove the gauze as per the video, but then what is you spread out a second clean gauze inside the wound as much as you can, and THEN you pour the Celox into the wound but OVER this gauze, (then apply pressure)... Would it work that way? The idea being that it would make it easier to clean out the wound once in the hospital setting. Good idea or bad idea? ...
Just wondering outside the box...
Thanks,
Medic deployed in LATAM
I talked with a PA about these products in extended emergency situations.
I was told to leave it in place until you get to a doctor or hospital.
Your body will just sluff it off like a scab, as you heal.
Yes with Celox you can, not with Combat Gauze.
Does quick clot have shellfish in it?
SM, one question, they say celox is dangerous in case of direct eye contact, is that true ? it is said it burns, not sure if such a thing is true, I appreciate your info about this. Thanks!!
To your question: If it comes in contact with your eyes it will bind the water on it and also some of the tear liquid following on a drying eye. That's what causes the burning and also can damage the eye.
Why: Celox works on a physical basis. It is based on chitosan, a polymer obtained from crab shell. The polymer is able to bind large amounts of water and entangle among themselves. This entanglement forms a strong network leaving behind a gel clot which stops the bleeding.
Some more information about gel networks: There are physical and chemical networks. Physical networks like chitosan gain their strength from entanglement of the single polymer chains. No chemical bonds are created and therefore no heat generated. Chemical networks are created by reactions that connect the polymer chains resulting in a gel. Often these reactions are exothermic, meaning they generate heat and could potentially damage tissue.
may I ask what would be the best thing to use - nat gauze , some non-woven pads, bloostopper ''cederroth'' or hemostatic pads (not hemostatic gauze) - to apply direct pressure to control bleeding? Minor bleeding. I guess for a major bleeding we either pack a wound and then wrap it with the israeli bandage or apply a hemostatic gauze and wrap it with a bandage (any bandage I suspect) or as a last resort tourniquet. I mean... for a not so serious laceration, I am sure we need something non-adherent and sterile and smth that has absorbent properties. And smth that is not very thin. Are the options Ive outlined above reasonable or there are way better options? Thank You so much.
thats an eye of round roast 7.99lb in the ozarks ,thank you skinny
Don't know been ask how dose clean out of a deep wound had deep cuts suck havening the scrob it out 10times worse them cleaning it out than the cut being made ty
Saving lives, we love you for all your vedios.
I really appreciate what you teach, here on your channel!
Thank you
I just finished my breakfast, time to watch this vid!
So say I apply this to a wound to prevent bleeding and it works, then what? Do you wash the wound out? Does it dissolve on it own? How would you stitch the wound back up?
Mostly it's to keep you stable until you can receive proper medical care. If you need this stuff it's probably too bad for just anyone to patch up.
Keep the wound covered and get to hospital, or at least a qualified medic, ASAP.
Pardon my ignorance but why not wound pack the torso? Thanks in advance for your clarification of this point. It may help me save a life should the need arise.
Also, do you think that the Celox RAPID Z-Folded Gauze or regular Celox Z-Folded Gauze is better in this application? Please explain why you believe whichever position you take?
There is no muscle cavity to wound pack in the torso.
Hey bud, using these granules on arm or leg wounds which are profusely bleeding, is that possible also? As I heard you say that its best to work around groin or armpit areas? Also, can hemostatic gauze be used on torso wounds instead of chest seals etc?
Flex seal that shiz
Mayor of Big Daddy’s Pizza lol
Awesome video, I just started replacing expired stuff in my First Aid kit and thought Celox would be a good addition, I'm guessing a 15g pouch would be sufficient for most situations..?
Thanks I learned something new and now I'm going to OutBack Streakhouse. Cheers
Right!
I know I'm a couple of years late lol but when you get to a safe place or what not, do you have to clean the powder out and bandage? Or .. I'm assuming this is to hold the patient off until.. surgery?
Great info just wondering. I bought the 5 packets kits of celox with 2 grams in each package. How many packets should I put into a wound? BTW I also have two clotting bandages , two CAT tourniquets, and Israeli bandage in my CERT kit along with other gauzes and dressings.
I heard surgeons hate that. Wouldn't be better to use the gauze with powder?
Thank you for the video. How well does this work when you have a severed and retracted major artery? Say a femoral that has pulled up an inch or two from the wound that is too high up for a tourniquet.
Great video demonstration. I hope you washed that beef tenderloin! Good eating right there!
could the granules enter the bloodstream via a vessel? If so how bad would that be?
Do you know if you can use styptic powder if need be? I'm sorry if its an ignorant question
I think you've done a video on this subject before, but I can't remember. Talking about the gauze version of this, do you prefer Celox gauze or Quick Clot?
I was just wondering what the differences between the two are, as well as pros and cons of each.
Great video as always, D!
Skinnymedic: Once the granules have been applied to the wound, bleeding stopped and dressing applied, what happens to the granules? Does the body absorb them or do they have to be flushed out? Thanks
Hey just wondering if you might explain why you are putting pressure on the wound for a few minutes before applying the trauma dressing? Is there an issue with applying the celox granules, packing the would with gauze and immediately wrapping in a pressure dressing?
When it is poured, does the agents solidify to the point when whoever will be caring for the victim at the trauma station doesn't have to clean it out?
The original medi pack 😮 I always wanted some fibrine glue. But this is much cooler...
Would powdered gelatine work, THEORETICALLY?
This is a good channel
So how does it actually work? Does it just block the area or what? Also, I saw on the Celox Rapid Ribbon that you were advised to hold it for 1 minute- is this powder different?
chitosan is used by homebrewers to clear beer and wine...this is pretty awesome.
I didn't know that
If the Celox should enter a vein or artery is there danger of a stroke or heart attack? It is a clotting agent after all.
Not 100% sure, but combat rescuer told me theres no chance on it. It will clot and stick to tissue in the wound.
Yes there have been some cases where a granule of the hemostatic agent has gone up someone's veins and blocked the vein causing a heart attack. It is not a high chance but the risk is there. If it was dying by bleeding to death or living and having a heart attack I would take that.
There is a chance ... but your using this because the patient is going to die or might die
SkinnyMedic what about combat or quikclot gauze? Does that make problem to the body late down the road? I really want to know.
Not likely because the blood is pushing out through pressure.
Love the almost real life demo using beef❗
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.
How would you decide packing the wound with celox guage or packing with just granules? Is one way more effective?
I think for most situations where a hemostatic is necessary, the gauze is probably going to be the better option.
I agree
Thanks for the information on the use of haemostatic powder. It was very helpful.
On deep deep cuts like that, assuming you are days or weeks away from help like hiking in the middle of nowhere, do you leave wound open or try and close it like a shallow cut once bleeding stops?
Just remember and maybe something to mention...Celox or other Hemostatic Granules are not CoTccc approved
I am very curious if you cooked that up or not.
thanks SM, I learned something. You mentioned doing something else if the celox and 5 minutes of direct pressure did not work, what would that something else be?
great question
Probably a coroner.
Clamp it. Cautetization would be hard to reach a deep setted torn artery
For example with kelly forceps or hemostats.
I would try and remove some of the Celox and wound pack it with gauze
Good stuff Skinny! Your awesome!
Excellent video.
glad i watched to the end. Also, just checked out and got your civilian trauma kit. great channel
Let sit until room temperature and place on nice hot grill for 3.5 minutes on each side. Feel free to rotate 90 degrees for them diamond grill marks.
I keep granules and syringe in my hunting pack. Waterfowling has untold hazards hidden below. I've done a faceplant in a literal bog and landed with an old road sign post between my arm and chest.
Awesome. I going to support you not only for your great info but, you owe your spouse a beef roast.
