Tree surgeon accident

My business partner had a close shave today with a new saw, cut right across the wrist, this is the first time we have had to use Celox and I was a bit sceptical when I opened the pack, I thought it was a pack of sawdust I had been sold but hey it works! The saw wasn’t even running it was sitting in the back of the chipper and he drew his wrist across the bar, so be careful everyone.

It took about 1 1/2 hours between getting cut to getting treated. The Celox sealed it up that good we ended up at the back of the queue – I think if it was still pouring out we would have been taken a lot quicker. There was no surgery needed to remove the Celox, all the nurse had to do was clean it out with saline, wiped then stitched him up clean as a whistle

I knew it was bad when the blood was running out that’s why it was applied, whether it was life threatening or not I wasn’t taking the risk. I feel it was well worth it and I would urge others to carry it in their first aid kit.
