Celox™ Gauze Equivalent & OEM Chitosan Hemostatic Factory
Celox™ Gauze is globally recognized for its ability to clot hypothermic blood (<32°C) and heparinized patients by physically binding red blood cells independent of the physiological clotting cascade. Ruten Medical's BioShield Chitosan Z-Fold Gauze (RT-CEL-7515) delivers the exact same biochemical mechanism: medical-grade marine chitosan with ≥90% deacetylation, rapid pseudoclot seal within 30 seconds of wound contact, standard 7.5 cm × 1.5 m Z-fold tactical dimensions, and complete surgical X-ray radiopacity. Sourced directly from our 6,000㎡ cleanroom facility with comprehensive international certifications at significant procurement savings.
Equivalent Biochemical Efficacy, Substantially Lower Unit Cost
Both utilize high-deacetylation chitosan to physically cross-link erythrocytes without relying on clotting factors. Ruten matches Celox's hypothermic efficacy and tensile strength while offering OEM brand packaging and competitive direct B2B pricing.
Head-to-Head Parameter Matrix
Empirical metrics from certified laboratory assays, lethal animal models, and accelerated shelf life testing.
| Parameter / Metric | International Brand / Platform A | Ruten Medical Standard (Direct Factory) |
|---|---|---|
Active Hemostatic Mechanism Physical erythrocyte agglutination independent of clotting cascade | Positively charged chitosan flakes on gauze | Medical-grade deacetylated chitosan (DD ≥90%) |
Efficacy with Anticoagulants (Heparin/Warfarin) Crucial for blast casualties, elderly patients, or trauma coagulopathy | 100% Effective (does not require clotting factors) | 100% Effective (verified in heparinized blood trials) |
Hypothermic Blood Clotting (<32°C) Enzymatic cascade dressings fail in lethal hypothermia triad | Fully active at severe hypothermic temperatures | Fully active at <32°C (non-enzymatic reaction) |
Hemostasis Time (Severe Junctional Bleed) Forms strong mechanical gel plug over arterial breach | ≤ 3 minutes direct pressure | ≤ 30s pseudo-clot onset, full seal within 3 min |
Dimensions & Format Tactical standard length for deep cavity packing | 7.5 cm × 3.0 m (or 3.7 m) Z-Fold | 7.5 cm × 1.5 m (3 in × 1.6 yd) Z-Fold standard |
X-Ray Detectability Surgical safety requirement under fluoroscopy | Continuous radiopaque line | Continuous embedded barium sulfate stripe |
Resorption & Wound Debridement No particle fragmentation; eliminates systemic emboli risk | Non-absorbable gauze; gel flushes with saline | Easily removed in one piece; hydrogel rinses clean |

Rigorous In-Vivo & In-Vitro Testing
In-Vitro Hypothermic & Heparinized Blood Agglutination
In trials with heparinized human whole blood cooled to 28°C (simulating profound battlefield hypothermia and trauma coagulopathy), the high-deacetylation chitosan fibers maintained strong cationic binding to RBC cell walls, forming a resilient agglutinated seal identical in tensile resistance to standard temperature whole blood.
Arterial Hemorrhage Model with Porcine Carotid Puncture
A 6 mm full-thickness arteriotomy was induced in swine with high mean arterial pressure. Packing with RT-CEL-7515 achieved immediate pseudo-clot formation. Following 3 minutes of direct pressure, total cessation of bleeding was maintained through fluid resuscitation challenges up to 120 mmHg MAP.
Electrostatic Cross-Linking vs Coagulation Cascade Dependence
Deep scientific dive into micro-biological pathways and physical mechanics.
Celox™ Chitosan Mechanism
Chitosan is a polycationic biopolymer with positively charged amino groups (-NH3+) that bind electrostatically to negatively charged erythrocytes, cross-linking them into a robust mechanical gel plug independent of coagulation factors.
- Physically independent of blood coagulation factors VIII, IX, XII
- Maintains clotting potency in cold blood (<32°C) and acidosis
- Works effectively in patients taking Plavix, Coumadin, or Heparin
- Forms a mechanical plug that does not melt or wash away under arterial pressure
Ruten BioShield Chitosan Gauze (RT-CEL-7515)
Ruten's BioShield utilizes high-purity medical chitosan with a deacetylation degree >= 90%. Impregnated on high-tensile hydro-entangled fibers, it provides optimal porosity for immediate fluid absorption and instant red blood cell cross-linking.
- High deacetylation (>=90%) delivers maximum cationic charge density
- Instant gelation stops bleeding without thermal exotherm (0°C heat)
- High wet-burst strength prevents fiber shedding in narrow bullet tracks
- Clean removal during emergency surgical debridement with saline wash
