Gelom hemostatic Celox ™ Rapid, is designed to stop massive limb and junctional bleeding. Its great advantage, compared to other hemostatics, is the reaction time in direct compression, needed to stop the bleeding, which is guaranteed by the manufacturer to 1 minute.  This not only saves the time needed for further procedures, but especially saves the injured's blood loss.  Celox-Rapid forms an adhesive gel that forms a plug at the site of a damaged blood vessel based on the reaction of chitosan with platelets. Another great advantage in use  Celox-Rapid is the ability to control bleeding in hypothermic patients or patients with a blood clotting disorder. Celox ™ Rapid is delivered in a compact package and folded into the shape of the letter "Z". 
 
 Celox ™ Rapid is recommended for:
 
 * Severe arterial bleeding
 * Morning tracts caused  gunshot, shrapnel or stab wounds
 * Narrow morning tracts, indicated for deep wound packing technique
