Celox Applicator

[@jihiggs]

any reason you can think of as to why this is not usually a recomended component of a blowout kit? it seems much more useful than a quick clot sponge if some one were shot in the torso.

[@nayotte]

Could you do a video comparing this to Q-clot, pro/cons of each, and when to use Cel-lox vs Q-clot. I hear the burning issue with Q-clot was so sever, it is only recommended in extreme circumstances, and EMTs protocol on routine calls is only to use when 2 minutes out from the hospital.

[@daleadmire1451]

Thank you very much for opening your package so I don’t have to open mine and clearly demonstrating how it works. God bless you my friend.

[@TuhonBillMcg]

Has the problem with the delivery method by granules later causing a pulmonary embolism been solved? I've heard this was a problem with the early use of Quick-clot granules and one of the reasons for the development of the gauze and sponge products.

[@tk1469]

This may be a stupid question, but why not put an unvented chest seal on the wound after applying the granules? That way the granules would be left to do their work inside the body instead of being absorbed by a bandage.

[@TheParacordWeaver]

good info, I wish some of that stuff was more cost effective for everyone to put in their packs

[@BraiytryeneGibbons]

Save . It’s only 30-40 dollars

[@Roscoriver]

Your life is worth well more than $30-$40. I would spend $100 on this if it saved my life.

We're being taught in my medic class, that under PHTLS and TCCC hemostatic powder is not to be used it has been associated with causing thermal burns on patients (I.e. quick clot powder). Studies have also shown that using hemostatic powder can result in strokes and pulmonary embolism. TCCC recommends using direct pressure and then if need be using limb tourniquets and wound packing with combat gauze in places where bleeding is taking place that a tourniquet can not stop bleeding (i.e. Groin and axillary regions).

[@simonsundy518]

Celox does not produce heat unlike the earlier generations of quikclot. Burns are not an issue with celox. Strokes are also not a concern with celox because it does not activate the body's natural clotting cascade. The chitosan that makes up celox, mixes with the blood to form a pseudo clot directly at the source of bleeding.

[@SkinnyMedic]

The only thing I could say against would be its mass. If you had a large hole then it would be multiple syringes to do what the sponge or gauze roll could do.

[@miltechmoto]

SkinnyMedic you could refill it though with more powder in the bag form. Might be messy but it's only one time use for one situation and patient. Not for refill and plunge some more into the wound.

[@May_Cxoxo]

SkinnyMedic hey skinny ! I know this is an old video but I’m making my own pocket edc ifak. regarding your comment about needing multiple syringes for larger wounds, I’d like to carry only one of these plungers + celox rapid ribbon zfold in a pocket & h&h chest seal & cat -t. If the one plunger is not enough to stop the bleeding of a larger wound s after being applied, would it be okay to then try to use the ribbon after, if the plunger is not sufficient enough? Has that been done ? Plunger first then pack ?(only if needed) remember I’m just a civilian carrying limited supplies

[@joeprimal2044]

Anybody know how to tell when to use it and when to just transport? Do you use it on abdominal wounds or just in muscle?

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Good video. Does the Q-clot burn as I have heard and if so why is it still used? Thanks.

[@BlackHawk2029]

Opal Preston Shirley It's not as bad as it used to be. but if it's between quik-clot and bleeding out, do you really care if it burns?

[@notimetobri]

If I had to choose between a standard gauze or this item to treat a serious bleed from a knife or gunshot wound, before applying pressure and dressings, which would you recommend?

[@mrdark9916]

It depends on the size of the entry of the wound. If a wound is narrow but deep, you cant physically pack gauze deep enough to stop the bleed at the artery. That is the type of wound this is meant for. If it is a wider wound that you can pack hemostatic gauze into, then do that. I carry both personally

[@jihiggs]

I have heard that a heavy bleeding gunshot would to the torso could not be helped by a pad on the outside because the main bleeding blood vesicle would be too deep. is this not true?

[@Tread_six]

How far out is the expiration on these usually or can they be stored indefinitly.

[@kacperm.5127]

I'm a emergency Dr I love ur vids I sometimes work on the ambulance I would really like to maybe meet u and show u my day as a dr in nz

[@vforvictory3313]

Will this work for GSW ?

[@RealitySurvival]

Good stuff! I haven't seen this stuff before, I may have to pick some up for my trauma kit. Thanks!

[@yeshuaservant7]

Does this stuff burn--like Quick Clot?

[@WheepingWillow2]

similar to a tampon applicator, lol, appreciate you're wasting you supply to teach us how to do it, thanks

[@BeachBow]

I was wondering how the ER doc would handle a wound with all the stuff crammed in there. Yeah, you're still alive, but the repercussions could have been nasty. But you answered my question. So the product will get broken down and absorbed. Great stuff. How about an allergies? You covered the latex, but could there be others that we'd need to be aware of? No disrespect, just trying to learn. JMHO BTW Tasty looking chicken. Need a recipe?

[@gunlover5564]

Just be aware any hemostatic agent can cause Possible blood clots, thus leaving the possibility of strokes, PE, and MI’s. But if they’re bleeding significantly I’d honestly wouldn’t hesitate to use it. I wish we carried these on our trucks.

[@thecrowjdc]

What’s the shelf life?

[@eetee2]

I was going to ask the same thing. SM (or anyone), do you know is this possible, can these granules cause somekind of blockage to your lungs, brains, etc. I mean that they are designed to clotting the blood. Is there something that prevents small clots caused by these kind of products to enter to you blood stream and cause problems? Have you heard that there would have been these cases?

[@cwes41]

Does Celox or Quck-Clot have to be removed from the would prior to closing the wound?

[@SkinnyMedic]

cwes41 Both need to be removed, however Celox will break down into a simple sugar if left in.

[@pcgamer0106]

Any form of hemostatic device like QC and Celox need to be removed from a wound channel, or you'll run the risk of circulatory system complications, etc.

[@LB-pu2ec]

Great info , I just subscribed. FYI if consumed it's NOT toxic. My Belgian malinois got into one of my kits and this stuff was all over the house and on her nose. Couldn't find anything on the net and called poison control and she was gtg. It will save u the $65 they charged my cc to find out so now ya know.

[@SkinnyMedic]

Welcome to the channel!

[@trimomSarah]

thanks so much!!! I cut my right thumb and after taking off the 3 bandages it opened the wound ( i had used liquid stitches and iodine). After it reopened we poured these graduals on and it felt good and immediately stopped bleeding. this morning its a big bump and I wasnt sure if I should wash off an put vaseline / petroleum glad to know my body with break it down. THANK YOU

[@SkinnyMedic]

Sarah Reed You can still try and flush it out if you can. Just watch it and make sure you don't start getting an infection.

[@8wealthyone8]

whould those granules cause infection when in wound? ta

[@mrdark9916]

What is the total dimentions/ length of the package?

[@TylerLL2112]

Hey brother, I'm making an IFAK and don't know if I want cellox like this, the gauze, or quickclot gauze or sponge it's all making my head spin. I've added regular old compressed gauze and used to have a quick clot sponge (or gauze) but it walked away. I like that this can break down but I heard quick clot has improved its formula and isn't the danger it used to be when it got red hot so I wonder how many people saying quick clot is bad, are holding on to that old knowledge. Anyone qualified can chime in please. I'm thinking celox but, it's pricey and I am adding chest seals now so, I don't want to spend to much if I don't need to. Personally I like the idea of the newer quick clot and think it works fine but celox seems to get more praise so, I'm stuck.

[@DannyDevitooo]

Tyler I have this in my trauma kit. It’s pretty simple. Just stick it in a wound and push. Plus there’s enough powder for multiple gunshot wounds

[@TylerLL2112]

ImpalerGaming I appreciate your help! Take care.

[@mrdark9916]

You want Gauze as well, trust me. I pack both. Applicator for slim, deep wounds and gauze for packing wider wounds that the granules wont fill. In conjunction you have all your bases covered.

[@jumpoffa5011]

Excellent Demonstration.

[@stefankrause5138]

"Trauma Surgeons hate this little trick!"

[@yoyoglock4]

I know in an emergency I would be willing to pay 10 times the cost of the Celox if one would magically appear but would a tampon be an ok substitute since they appear to be roughly the same diameter or is the Celox something that can be left in while the wound heals? Either way I need to pick one up..just wish it had a longer shelf life for the cost.

[@StevenWorkman]

Thanks!

[@michaeljordon704]

can you use wound seal for puncture wounds

Never tried it

[@Mikemike587]

in my emt class hemostatic agents were covered briefly and I mean VERY briefly they got 1 maybe 2 paragraphs in our text book the instructor talked about them for maybe 3 minutes and that was it we didn't even train with them

[@glengranger3896]

Taste it come on taste it !!

[@nerblebun]

If unable to stop the wounded victims bleeding, the applicator can double as a spice injector. Fill applicator with chopped onion, garlic, and maybe.... parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Insert length ways into the middle of a juicy pork roast and push plunger while slowly removing applicator. Center of roast will be filled with spices, seasoning the meat from the inside as it slowly rotates over an open fire. Mmmmm.... Serve medium rare to the wounded victim as their last meal.

[@TRprepper]

Could be a life saver. And chickens love to be on youtube..LOL!

If it hurts, that means you're still alive..let's put it that way :)

[@cephasmartin8593]

shaydeinsun At that point you're not going to be worrying about pain from the applicator. It will be the least of your worries.

[@DannyDevitooo]

shaydeinsun yeah um you’re already shot. So you’re already in pain and this is going to save your life
