When a penetrating chest injury is causing difficulty for your patient, using a quality chest seal can increase positive patient outcomes.
Key features of the SAM Chest Seal 2.0 Valved include strong adhesive and flexible construction, which allows conformity over the wound. The adhesive properties have been tested to simulate various environments including adhesion to hair, sweat, blood, in the presence of sand, submersion in water, and during extended wear. The chest seal also adheres under extreme heat and cold.
This version features a one-way valve, which provides for low-resistance airflow from the chest cavity while preventing ingress. The valve also is designed to prevent blockage internally. The domed shape of the valve prevents external 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 2.0 Valved 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.
