Description
The North American Rescue HyFin® Vent Chest Seal is designed for the emergency treatment of penetrating chest injuries that may result in an open or tension pneumothorax. Its patented 3-channel vent system is engineered to help prevent air from entering the chest cavity during inhalation while allowing air and blood to escape through the vent channels during exhalation.
The three-channel design also provides an added level of reliability. If one or even two channels become obstructed by blood or other contaminants, the remaining vent channel is designed to continue functioning.
Advanced hydrogel adhesive technology helps maintain a strong seal in demanding conditions, including when the patient’s skin is wet, bloody, sweaty, hairy, or exposed to environmental contaminants. A large red pull tab allows for quick, single-step peel-and-apply application, while the transparent backing makes it easier to position the seal directly over the wound and monitor the affected area.
