Why we like these:
Sucking chest wounds suck. Be prepared to patch them up with a set of HyFin Vent chest seals. These are the compact version, perfect for your Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK). These also feature a 3-channel pressure relief vent which helps to manage tension pneumothorax, or a buildup of pressure from air entering the chest cavity.
All of our medical equipment comes direct from North American Rescue, and you can be confident that what you purchase here is 100% authentic.
Also, we strongly suggest taking a "Stop the Bleed" class. Visit www.stopthebleed.org to learn more and find a class near you.
Official Description From North American Rescue:
The HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack provides users with two vented chest seals in a compact packaging designed for the prevention, management and treatment of an open and/or tension pneumothorax potentially caused by a penetrating chest trauma. The cutting-edge design of these chest seals incorporate 3-vented channels designed to allow air to escape the chest cavity during exhalation but prevent airflow from entering through the injury site during inhalation. Each HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seal is made with advanced hydrogel technology designed to provide a superior adhesion in adverse conditions or austere environments where the casualty may be covered in blood, sweat, body hair, or other environmental contaminants.
Constructed of a rugged, easy-to-open foil pouch, the perforated twin packaging allows users to open only one dressing at a time as needed. Its small packaging is approximately 25% smaller than that of the standard HyFin® Vent Chest Seal and is ideal for low profile kits as you do not have to fold it to get it to fit in your kit, go-bag, cargo pocket or body armor.
