Celox WORKS!!!

[MasterBlaster]

Yesterday I nicked myself with my 200. I was being careless and paid the piper. Because I take a daily aspirin, I bleed like a stuck pig so when this happened I broke out the Celox package I bought a while back and DAMN! It worked great! I highly suggest everyone have this in their first aid kit!

I bought 4 packets- 1 for each climbing kit, one for the fist aid box and 1 for home.

Delighted to see it works!


p.s. Bugger- that little nick could have been a real chew- glad you were lucky

 

[MasterBlaster]

Me too!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Can you explain how to use it. They say "packets"...how do you apply it?

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Glad it wasn't worse.

I have a blood stopper pouch on my saddle and on my chaps. I'm getting a couple of those to add to the kit..

 

[Altissimus]

Glad to see , It was just a nick , there brother ... and that celox works ....

I poured it into the wound and applied pressure. Here's a kinda gross video.

lucky lets try to keep our head in the game be carefulllll you have to be able to type

 

[woodworkingboy]

Thanks for posting it, need to get my first aid kit together. I'm going to look for it here.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Probably easier to order online from the link I posted. I just did.

 

[woodworkingboy]

It doesn't seem to be advertised on the web over here, will check that link to see if they sell international. Thanks.

Have to try that out. I bought a fist aid kit over the summer and I haven't had to use it yet. Celox will be a great addition to the kit.

I'm glad the cut wasn't worse Butch

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's been a couple decades since my last nick, I was overdue...

 

[OTGBOSTON]

A sacrifice to the tree gods......if you will

 

[woodworkingboy]

Sometimes those little reminders are useful, personal and at the treehouse.

 

[NeTree]

No, no, no Butch... it's "A POUND of flesh"...








Glad to see ya got lucky, dude. Definitely could have been LOADS worse.

You mean:The gods of onehanding chainsaws, don't you?

What kind of gloves do you wear while working,MB. It looks like a good glove might have made that cut a little less nasty. Anyway, you got off lucky, good for you.

 

[gf beranek]

glad to see it was just a nick, Butch.

 

[fallguy]

Butch do you have to order from the manufacture or can you get it at a drug store? I want some for my hunting first aid kit. The broad heads I use are sharper than Granddad's straight razor.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't know.

 

[woodworkingboy]

That video was pretty gross when they took out the big blood clot from the dog, I think it was. It made me think that you might have a hard time cleaning a big wound with the hemostatic packed in there, unless somebody sticks their hand in and grabs all the blood. Yuck.....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Docs do all sorts of weird stuff to you - that's why I avert my eyes.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just happy it was not serious Butch... I think Rob is going to add that Celox to the kit... could really make a difference out in da woods...

I was thinking it was a pig.

They sure weren't shy about gettin handsy.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's what doctors do.
