Open chest wounds can lead to much more than just blood loss. For this reason, chest seals are an essential part of modern first aid and a valuable addition to any trauma kit. This 2-pack includes two individually wrapped identical seals, allowing you to treat both an entry and exit wound with a single set.
Tension pneumothorax caused by penetrating upper torso injuries is one of the battlefield’s deadliest wounds. With a chest seal, you can cover a projectile or blade-induced puncture to prevent air from entering the chest cavity. The non-vented design allows for the release of pressure built up in the chest cavity by lifting a corner of the seal if necessary.
