A critical component to your IFAK, you should not go without proper well-engineered chest seals.
The HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack from North American Rescue sets the standard for the prevention, management, and treatment of an open and/or tension pneumothorax potentially caused by a penetrating chest trauma.
Specs
- Patented design with three vent channels to prevent airflow into the chest cavity while allowing it to escape during exhalation
- Vent channels designed to allow blood to escape and also provides a failsafe if two of the three channels become obstructed
- Advanced adhesive technology designed to provide a superior seal in the most adverse conditions, including sweaty or hairy casualties
- Easy-to-grip, large red tab for single step application and allows for burping of the wound if necessary
- Comes in an easy-to-open foil pouch with Red-Tip Technology® Tear notches with perforated packaging allowing the user to open only one dressing at a time as needed.
Further Information & Guides
Yes, you can fold the packaging to fit it better in your IFAK. The chest seals are already folded in their packaging, and NAR has tested this, encountering no issues.
Do not separate the seals along the perforation until use. Generally you will want two seals at the same time for an entrance and exit wound.
