CELOX Traumatic Wound First Aid Packets - 6 Count | Fast-Acting Hemostatic Gauze for Emergency Bleeding Control | Perfect for Hiking, Camping & First Aid Kits

This is one of those things you buy hoping that you never have to use it. It is exactly what I ordered but slightly different package.I've used Celox a couple times now when I've cut myself fileting fish and in the kitchen. I tried using a tissue and pressure both times but it just kept bleeding. Once I probably should have had a couple stitches, but didn't. I poured some of the packet on the cut and both times the bleeding stopped almost immediately. I also gave some to my dad who is on blood thinners. Thankfully I did because he cut his thumb and to my surprise, it clotted the blood just as fast. Otherwise he said he'd have been bleeding for quite a while as holding gauze with pressure didn't really stop it from bleeding. I keep some in my fishing tackle, glove compartment in my car, in my camping first aid kit and my backpack I take to work. Great stuff!I had an injury where I wouldn’t stop bleeding. I had to call for an ambulance. I had this in my cabinet so I used it. The bleeding stopped before the ambulance arrived. I purchased more and even mailed some to my son who lives out of state. It’s a must have for me now. Accidents always happen. You never know how bad they will be.WHEN I PUT THESE IN MY GSW KIT NEVER THOUGHT OF IT STOPPING BLEEDING FROM BAD CUT ON FINGER FROM CHAIN SAW. GLAD I HAD ITOnly use if all other methods fail or if there is a substantial blood loss in multiple areas.Good stuff to have for your emergency kits, be it for your car, home, outdoors first aid kits for hiking/camping, or your IFAK - this and quick-clot bandages are a must-have. Whether it’s a compound fracture, cut due to broken glass, piercing by metal or wood, or gunshot wound, this works to give the injured a better shot at surviving whatever happened.ordered this to replace the diminished stock in my personal trauma kitToday I was being stupid in my woodshop and cut my finger, badly, on my bandsaw. Like, through a tendon and into bone badly. I immediately got the Celox and a gauze pad from the first aid kit and hurriedly poured it on the cut. Not sure how much went into the cut vs. on the floor. Went upstairs, told my wife I needed to go to the ER and asked her to pour a second pack onto the cut, just to be sure. Kept pressure applied while she drove. It wasn't bleeding anymore.The ER doc was impressed; he wasn't familiar with Celox.By the way, my stash expired Sept 2020 and it worked great, but I'll be reordering to have an up to date supply.Regarding the cost, you won't think it's expensive if you find yourself needing it.No lo he usado y espero no tener que hacerlo, pero es bueno saber que cuentas con él para una emergencia. Porto algunos en mi botiquín de aventura y unos están en mi botiquín de casa.Indispensable para tu kit de primeros auxilios, excelente servicioNunca llegó a mis manos el producto. Es la segunda vez que lo solicito y nada. Muy mal
