Sam Chest Seal Occlusive Dressing for Open Chest Wounds - Valved

The Sam Chest Seal is an occlusive dressing designed for treating open chest wounds — a life-threatening situation that could lead to tension pneumothorax.

The Sam Chest Seal's superior adhesion is strong enough to adhere to skin that is subject to sweat, blood, hair, sand or water. The hydrogel adhesive also enables repeated resealing making it ideal for venting.

Two versions of the Sam Chest Seal are available: non-valve and valve.

The valved version features an optional one-way valve that allows airflow from the chest cavity while preventing ingress and reduces internal obstruction from blood clots or soft tissue. The valve is activated by removing the cap.

The patented valve is also designed to prevent external obstruction of the air channels from items such as blankets, clothing and body armour.

Thoughtful design ensures the Sam Chest Seal is quick to deploy and user-friendly in the field for both military and civilian medics.
