Chest Seals
A penetrating injury to the chest can cause a potentially lethal lung collapse or pneumothorax if not treated. Standard equipment for any combat medic include chest seals and needle decompression kits. Below are airway management supplies needed to save a life when crisis hits and time is of the essence. We carry a wide selection of occlusive dressings and chest seals, including Hyfin, Halo, Bolin, FoxSeal (from the makers of Celox), SAM Medical, Beacon, and Asherman.
Most chest seals are packed in compact, rugged, and easy-to-open foil pouches. For ease of application and patient safety, many chest seals are made from advanced latex-free materials and are transparent, elastic, tear resistant, and function properly even in wet or extreme temperature environments. These products are tried and true treatments for penetrating chest injuries from stabbings, gunshot, or other chest penetrations.
What Our Customers Say
Did a bunch of research on chest Vents… This is definitely the best one…. Came as advertised and very nice product
Came well packaged and still have 5 and a half years until the expiration date! Hopefully I never have to
use them but I know if I do need them, they will be there for the next 5 years.
Very good quality, works well on combat wounds. Easy to apply.
Sticks very well to a hairy chest. I had a problem before with Rhino chest seals, as they did not stick well to a hairy chest.
FAQs
What type of chest seal should I buy for my needs?
It depends on the environment and level of care you’re preparing for. A vented chest seal is recommended
if you want pressure-relief capability, while a standard chest seal is a good option for straightforward occlusion
of penetrating chest trauma. If space is limited, a compact or low-profile seal fits easily into body armor or cargo pockets.
Agencies or teams may prefer twin packs or combo kits that include decompression tools.
What’s the difference between a vented chest seal and a standard one?
A vented chest seal has built-in 3-channel pressure relief vents, allowing air to escape from the chest cavity,
preventing pressure buildup that could lead to tension pneumothorax. In contrast, a standard chest seal is designed
to create an airtight barrier, ideal for penetrating chest trauma but requires close patient monitoring and manual burping.
Can I use a chest seal with body armor?
Chest seals must be applied directly to the skin. The superior adhesives allow these seal to stick well, even on dirty,
bloody, or hairy skin.
Can the training chest seals be used for actual emergencies?
While training chest seals are designed for practice, they replicate the same process used in real-life
situations. This allows you to master the occlusive dressing technique and prepare for proper chest seal
application in high-pressure environments.
How do the vented chest seals work in preventing tension pneumothorax?
The vented channels allow trapped air to escape, reducing the risk of tension pneumothorax. The design
ensures that air exits through the seal without compromising the superior seal needed for wound protection.
