Thread: Trauma kits Celox vs Quik clot

I hear Quik clot can cause burns especially when applied in powder form and can cause burns to people around the paitent including the patient.
Celox seems better but you get less?

Are any of you medical types in the know?

what do you want it for? I have quick clot for my work truck.I know the yanks love celox in the military.

Any major trauma, Im not so keen on the secondary burns side of things.

I'd rather have less than none - the less also means less weight and less space taken up.

A quick google shows the websites to be out of stock of both. Where do you get it and is it something I should have in my kit?

Only for when your bleeding

Simple thing like your lisence and a bandage will do.the same.job if ou got into the shit.

Open up the wound an poor ice cold water on it, that'll take your mind of the bleeding for a while

Alot of nato uses celox, after doing osme reading quikclot has been updated and doesnt cause burns any more.

Im looking at bring in some trauma kits and sports sponges

Yes. The NZDF is a bit low on inventory so they are going to join in and do the usual trick of permanently borrowing some gear.

I got my Celox and Islreali Bandages for work from here. Buy Israeli Bandages and More
Buy in bulk its much cheaper. now ALL our first aid kits are kitted with the stuff.

Israeli Emergency Bandages - Israelifirstaid.com
Celox Home Pack of 10 - Israelifirstaid.com

Very cool. Thanks for that.

Maybe one of you chaps might like to follow me around during the roar as my sort of personal medic? Just don't go sticking a sanitary device into me without getting my permission first though. The mind boggles. I could die of toxic shock (google it).
