First Aid Resources

WoundSeal® Powder is composed of a hydrophilic, or water-loving, polymer and potassium ferrate.

When the powder is poured onto a bleeding wound, the hydrophilic polymer instantly dehydrates the blood by absorbing only the plasma or liquid portion of the blood stacking the blood solids beneath the powder. 

Simultaneously, the potassium ferrate dissolves, releasing iron that agglomerates (binds together) the blood solids to create an occlusive seal.

As manual pressure is applied to the powder, the seal is pushed into contact with the wound.

The natural glue-like nature of drying blood adheres the seal to the wound and surrounding skin.

The occlusive seal, that has formed in seconds, stops further bleeding or oozing.

Blood solids continue to stack beneath the seal, strengthening it.  The natural clotting process proceeds below the seal.

Rapid Application Tourniquet System

(for experienced first responders only)

CELOX RAPID

The fastest acting hemostatic gauze.

The fastest acting hemostatic gauze, that stops severe arterial bleeding with only 60 seconds compression.

  • Works with just 60 seconds compression

  • Stops severe bleeding – fast

  • Rapid action reduces blood loss9

  • Stops hypothermic bleeding4 as found in severe traumatic injuries.

Time is critical when treating severe injuries in the field and saving time increases the chance of survival for the casualty in an emergency or hostile situation. To be effective in real use, hemostatic dressings need to work fast.

The current generation of hemostatic agents need at least 3 minutes of compression to work. Celox RAPID Gauze removes the delay by speeding up packing time10 and reducing compression time to just 60 seconds while using the proven hemostat technology of Celox.

Tried and Tested

Treatment time is the combined time of wound packing and compression time.

Independent testing on Celox RAPID has shown the product works on lethal injuries and significantly reduces blood loss compared to Quikclot Gauze*. As well as reducing treatment time and blood loss, a model of tactical evacuation showed that the Celox RAPID Gauze stayed in place during transport with no re-bleeding.

The Benefits of Ileocecal Valve Massage

Step One: Locate the IC Valve

Draw a line from the navel to the right hip bone. Feel for the boney protuberance on the front of your pelvis. Note where the middle of that line is. Under this area is the IC valve.

 Step Two: Evaluate the IC Valve

Gently but firmly press into the abdomen in this area looking for tenderness. Often you will feel a tender area or even a hard nodule under your

fingers. Sometimes it will feel like a hard but tender golf ball. This tension must be massaged out in order for this valve to function. In the case

of SIBO — the valve is likely stuck open. 

Step Three:

A. Massaging a stuck-open IC valve 

An open valve will predispose the body to intestinal overgrowth, loose stools and undigested food, along with the general symptoms

mentioned earlier.

Massage the area in a firm clockwise circular motion. Extend the upward circular motion as if you were zipping up a zipper. The circular motion

is more of an oval with the emphasis on pulling the tissue in an upwards direction. I am a big fan of using some form of vibrating massage tool for this in a similar way – extending the upward zipping up of the IC valve for best results. In addition, the entire lower abdomen can benefit from a visceral massage with a vibrating massage tool. 

B. Massaging a stuck-closed IC valve

A closed valve can cause occasional constipation, a hard, inconsistent stool, gas and bloating, and abdominal discomfort.

Massage the area in counter-clockwise circular motion with an emphasis in the downward motion, as if to un-zip a zipper and open the IC valve. 

Step Four: Frequency

Repeat this technique twice a day for 2 minutes and before each meal until the soreness and tenderness in the IC valve area disappears. The area should be soft, supple and non-tender.
