Celox-A Hochgeschwindigkeitsapplikator

How do I use the CELOX-A applicator?

Insert the tip directly into the wound track. Press the plunger firmly to inject 6 grams of chitosan granules into the wound. Remove the applicator. Cover the wound entry with gauze above skin level. Apply firm direct pressure for 5 minutes.

Can CELOX-A be used in abdominal or chest wounds?

No. CELOX-A is contraindicated for abdominal wounds and body cavity wounds. It is indicated for external narrow penetrating wounds only — extremities, torso exterior, neck, and junctional areas where direct compression can be applied.

How are CELOX-A granules removed at the hospital?

Hospital personnel remove granule residuals within 24 hours by physical extraction of any gel clot, followed by thorough sterile saline irrigation. The chitosan gel dissolves readily with saline.

Can CELOX-A be refilled or reused?

No. CELOX-A is a single-patient use device only. Do not refill or reuse — reuse could result in cross-infection risk and reduced hemostatic performance. Multiple applicators may be used on the same patient if needed, one per wound track.
