First Aid Vented Chest Seal

In the modern first aid kit, especially those built for use in locations that might become active shooter targets, there’s an item called a chest seal. It is essentially a sterile piece of plastic with an adhesive backing and four vent holes. A chest seal is a very specific item that has only one use: to treat a sucking chest wound. Since active shooter and potential domestic terrorism situations have grown more common, you’re likely to see them in first aid kits from schools to stadiums. Our Vented Chest Seal adheres despite the presence of blood, sweat, hair, and sand, creating an occlusive seal that works under extreme heat and cold environments. The large tab easily facilitates the placement and removal of the dressing and it is ventable through four holes. It comes in puncture-resistant packaging, which is lightweight and allows for a long shelf-life.
