The basic idea behind both of these products is to help slow down heavier than normal bleeding within the body where simple pressure or a tourniquet may be unable to be applied.<br /><br />The original QuickClot had three main problems. The first problem was that it could get very hot and could cause burns to the patient. The second problem was that some of the QuickClot grains might break off and could possibly break away and cause a clot in other parts of the body in other areas besides the wound. The third problem was that it had to be removed once the patient was at the hospital. These problems caused a lot of emergency services to discontinue its use.<br /><br />Celox (Celox gauze?) was designed to help eliminate those problems. Newer formulas and designs of QuickClot have also solved some of these basic problems.<br /><br />The Celox Gauze is basically Celox in the form of gauze instead of a powder. The purpose is to use it to “pack” the wound rather than pouring the powder directly into the wound area.<br /><br />These products have very limited use in most cases. They are designed to stop serious forms of bleeding when other forms of treatment aren't possible. Surface wounds should normally be treated with bandages and pressure.<br /><br />An advanced class in First Aid Training will help you recognize the proper situations in which to use these items.<br /><br />Thanks anon.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-52466494386765788152012-04-08T08:40:35.930-05:002012-04-08T08:40:35.930-05:00To:mmasse
