Celox™ RAPID Gauze Equivalent: 60-Second Compression Fast-Pack Dressing
In modern tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), standard hemostatic dressings require 3 full minutes of sustained manual compression—a hazardous duration when operating under hostile fire or during mass-casualty triage. Celox™ RAPID pioneered an accelerated high-density chitosan formulation that reduces compression time to 60 seconds. Ruten Medical manufactures the direct engineering equivalent: BioShield Rapid Chitosan Z-Fold Gauze (RT-CEL-7515 / Rapid Grade). Featuring ultra-dense pharmaceutical marine chitosan fibers (≥90% deacetylation) that cross-link erythrocytes into an impenetrable pseudoclot within 60 seconds of manual pressure, our dressing operates flawlessly in hypothermic (<32°C) and heparinized trauma casualties. Produced in our ISO Class 8 cleanrooms, it delivers elite battlefield speed at direct manufacturer wholesale pricing.
Validated 60-Second Hemostasis with 50% Lower Procurement Cost
Both utilize dense electrostatically charged chitosan to eliminate clotting cascade dependence and slash manual pressure requirements from 180s down to 60s. Ruten delivers identical laboratory and arterial bench performance with full private-label packaging support and direct B2B pricing.

Rigorous In-Vivo & In-Vitro Testing
Rapid Hemostasis in Lethal Swine Groin Arterial Hemorrhage Model
High-density chitosan gauze achieved 100% initial hemostasis and stable mean arterial pressure after only 60 seconds of manual compression, matching traditional 3-minute gauze packings with zero re-bleeding during resuscitation.
Efficacy of Non-Enzymatic Hemostats in Severe Traumatic Coagulopathy
In subjects with combined severe hypothermia (29.5°C) and profound acidosis (pH 7.15), rapid chitosan dressing reduced blood loss by 74% compared to factor-dependent mineral dressings.
60-Second Dense Chitosan Fleece vs Standard 3-Minute Packings
Deep scientific dive into micro-biological pathways and physical mechanics.
Celox™ RAPID High-Density Fleece
Impregnates high-density chitosan granules onto modified non-woven fleece, maximizing immediate cationic surface area to rapidly cross-link red blood cells without waiting for endogenous thrombin.
- Cationic charge cross-links erythrocytes within 60 seconds
- Zero dependence on patient's physiological clotting cascade
- Functions effectively under severe battlefield hypothermia (<32°C)
- Forms a cohesive barrier withstanding high systolic pressure
Ruten BioShield Rapid Chitosan Gauze (RT-CEL-7515)
Ruten combines medical marine chitosan (deacetylation >= 90%) with reinforced hydroentangled continuous fleece, delivering immediate red cell agglutination and superior wet tensile strength for fast cavity packing.
- ≥90% Deacetylation degree guarantees maximum electrostatic charge
- 60-Second manual compression achieves complete arterial seal
- Reinforced fleece provides wet tensile strength >= 15N with zero shredding
- 100% zero thermal exotherm (0°C rise) protecting delicate neurovascular bundles
