Tactical Chest Seal Kit: Vented & Non-Vented Trauma Patches (2-Pack)
This essential 2-pack chest seal kit provides immediate, life-saving trauma care. It includes one vented and one non-vented occlusive dressing, both crucial for managing open chest wounds and preventing life-threatening tension pneumothorax.
Vented Chest Seal
The vented chest seal features a one-way valve, allowing air to escape from the pleural cavity while preventing air from re-entering. This passive air release is critical in open pneumothorax cases, reducing the risk of tension pneumothorax, especially in situations where immediate medical attention is delayed.
Non-Vented Chest Seal
The non-vented chest seal provides a complete airtight seal, preventing both air ingress and egress. Ideal for situations where rapid medical transport is anticipated or tension pneumothorax isn’t a concern, this seal is also suitable for sealing other types of wounds.
When to Use Which:
- Vented Chest Seal: For open chest wounds with suspected pneumothorax, especially when immediate medical care isn’t readily available. Minimizes the risk of tension pneumothorax.
- Non-Vented Chest Seal: For airtight wound closure when prompt medical attention is expected, pneumothorax is not suspected, or for sealing other wounds.
