CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze – Advanced Bleeding Control Dressing

The CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze is a specialized chitosan-based hemostatic dressing designed to assist trained emergency responders in controlling life-threatening external bleeding. Its advanced technology works independently of the body’s normal clotting mechanisms, making it a valuable addition to emergency trauma-response equipment.

Manufactured by CELOX Medical and distributed through North American Rescue, CELOX Z-Fold Gauze combines proven hemostatic technology with a compact 5-foot gauze configuration designed for efficient wound packing and organized medical storage.

Advanced Chitosan Hemostatic Technology

The CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze uses chitosan-based hemostatic technology to assist with the temporary control of severe external bleeding.

Chitosan is a biomaterial that interacts with blood to form a gel-like barrier at the bleeding site.

When CELOX comes into contact with blood, its hemostatic particles absorb fluid, swell, and form a cohesive gel-like plug that helps limit blood loss.

Unlike treatments that depend entirely on the body’s normal coagulation process, CELOX works through a physical hemostatic mechanism that does not require activation of the normal clotting cascade.

This characteristic is particularly relevant in traumatic injuries where normal clotting may be impaired.

Designed for Severe Traumatic Bleeding

CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze is designed for emergency situations involving significant external bleeding.

Examples of situations in which trained medical responders may use specialized hemostatic dressings include:

• Severe traumatic injuries
• Arterial bleeding
• Penetrating trauma
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Industrial and workplace injuries
• Emergency and prehospital trauma response

The dressing is intended to provide temporary bleeding control while definitive medical care is arranged.

Three-Minute Compression Protocol

A defining feature of the CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze is its manufacturer-recommended compression protocol.

CELOX Medical instructs trained users to apply the dressing directly to the source of bleeding and maintain firm pressure for three minutes, or longer if bleeding continues.

This approach is intended to support hemostasis in moderate to severe bleeding situations.

Proper wound packing, firm compression, appropriate training, and timely medical treatment are essential. The three-minute recommendation does not guarantee successful bleeding control in every injury.

Works Independently of Normal Blood Clotting

CELOX uses a chitosan-based physical mechanism to help control bleeding without depending on the traditional coagulation cascade.

The manufacturer reports that CELOX can function in challenging bleeding conditions, including hypothermic blood that may not clot normally.

This capability helps distinguish chitosan-based hemostatic gauze from untreated medical gauze.

CELOX remains an adjunct to emergency bleeding-control treatment and does not replace professional medical evaluation.

Compact 5-Foot Z-Fold Design

The CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze features a convenient, compact configuration for storage and deployment.

The 3-inch-wide gauze is supplied in a 5-foot length, allowing trained responders to pack appropriate wounds and apply compression according to their training and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Its Z-fold arrangement supports straightforward access to the dressing during emergency medical care.

The compact package makes CELOX suitable for inclusion in:

• EMS trauma bags
• Individual first aid kits (IFAKs)
• Tactical medical kits
• Emergency bleeding-control supplies
• Law enforcement medical equipment
• Search and rescue medical bags
• Workplace emergency kits

CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze Specifications

Why Choose CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze?

Independent Hemostatic Action: Functions without relying entirely on the body’s normal clotting cascade.

Three-Minute Compression Guidance: Manufacturer instructions specify firm compression for three minutes, or until bleeding stops.

Compact Z-Fold Packaging: Convenient for organized storage in professional trauma-response kits.

Emergency Medical Applications: Designed for use by trained responders dealing with serious external bleeding.

CELOX Z-Fold vs. CELOX Rapid

Although both products use chitosan-based technology, they have different manufacturer-recommended compression protocols.

CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze uses a three-minute compression protocol.

CELOX Rapid Hemostatic Gauze incorporates an enhanced rapid-action formulation designed for a shorter, one-minute compression protocol.

The products should be selected and used according to their individual indications, instructions, and responder training.

Important Medical and Safety Information

CELOX Z-Fold Hemostatic Gauze is intended for temporary external bleeding control and should be used by appropriately trained personnel.

Always follow the current manufacturer’s instructions for use. If bleeding persists, additional compression and appropriate emergency interventions may be required.

Life-threatening bleeding requires immediate emergency medical attention. Hemostatic gauze does not replace definitive treatment.
