First Aid Kits---Celox

You may be thinking, "What in the world is Celox?"

This could very well be a key item for your first aid kit. Celox is a blood clotting substance that is used in the military battle field, so it has been tested extensively and found to work extremely well. It comes in a granular form, in a gauze, and with an applicator. The granular Celox is poured into a wound (the applicator contents is injected into a wound) and will even stop arterial bleeding. The gauze is packed into a wound and stops the bleeding. It doesn't act like human blood-clotting, but creates a gel-like clot that binds to the surface of the red blood cells. It even works if the patient has taken common anti-coagulants like Warfarin and Heparin. Maybe now you can see the importance of Celox! It could save a life. Celox can be found many places on the internet.
