SAM MEDICAL SAM-CS062013 SAM Chest Seal with Valve and Absorbent Pad

Occlusive dressing for an open chest wound — an injury that can progress to tension pneumothorax. The hydrogel adhesive grips skin that is wet with sweat, blood or water, or covered in hair or sand, and it reseals repeatedly so the wound can be vented.

• One valved chest seal plus a 127mm x 228mm absorbent pad
• One-way valve vents the chest cavity while preventing ingress; activated by removing the cap
• Valve resists internal obstruction from blood clots or soft tissue, and external obstruction from clothing, blankets or body armour
• Hydrogel adhesive holds on sweat, blood, hair, sand or water and reseals
• Large coverage area, dual tabs and transparent material for accurate placement
• Absorbent pad takes up 151.7mL in 5 seconds for wound cleaning
• Vacuum-sealed packaging peels open to provide a sterile field
• Dressing and packaging optimised for use with night vision devices
• Works in extreme heat and cold
