Workplace injury – food processing plant
I’ve used one of the Celox gauze pads on a fairly deep laceration that one of our employees had on his forearm and it works exactly like you told me it would. No problem at all, he had to have sutures and the Celox rinsed clean out of the wound leaving a nice suture line. I’ve used the granule packs several times on other abrasions, minor lacerations and puncture wounds and it is great! Its saves time holding pressure and rinses clean.
Dr B has used it himself and taken some of my packs to his office also, I can think of many times in the past I could have used this. I think it’s a great addition to our medical office and I am looking into making it a part of all our emergency bags and kits in our complex.
