NORSE RESCUE® Chest Seal Vented is an advanced occlusive dressing designed to treat open chest wounds. Penetrating injuries to the chest that result in open chest wounds may lead to tension pneumothorax, the second leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield.
Chest Seals are specifically designed with a medical grade hydrogel adhesive, strong enough to adhere to skin that is exposed to blood, sweat, hair, sand or water.
The four vented Chest Seal are designed to prevent airflow into the chest cavity during inhalation while allowing air to escape through the vent channels during exhalation.
