The SAM® Chest Seal is a new occlusive dressing designed for treating open chest wounds (also known as a sucking chest wound), a life-threatening situation that could lead to tension pneumothorax. This is the second leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield. This version features a one-way valve when its cap is removed. The one-way valve provides for low resistance flow of air out of the chest cavity while preventing ingress. The valve is also designed to prevent blockage internally. With the cap in place, the dressing is occlusive. The domed shape of the valve was specially designed to prevent obstruction of the air channels from items such as blankets, clothing, and body armor. With its ultimate use in global combat zones, the SAM Chest Seal is optimized for night vision. Both the packaging and chest seal can be viewed under no light conditions with the use of a night vision device. This allows for easier placement in all light conditions.
Chest Seal Size: 9.2″ x 7.6″
• Includes one 5″ x 9″ pad per pouch
• CE Approved
• Latex-free
• Transparent
• Biocompatible
