Russell - Chest Seal for Open Chest Wounds
The Russell Chest Seal is an advanced medical device designed for managing open chest wounds and bleeding. It incorporates a hydrogel-based multi-layer dressing featuring a low-profile, four-aperture valve for optimal performance. Mounted on a non-woven fabric, this seal provides a flexible and consistently adhering surface, supported by a silicone-coated release liner to prevent stretching or distortion. Remarkably, it is one of only two chest seals verified to be 100% effective in open chest wound models with active hemorrhage. Engineered to function in extreme conditions, the hydrogel base has demonstrated no loss of adherence in temperatures ranging from -19.5°C (-3.1°F) to 71.5°C (160.7°F) across various skin surfaces. It is manufactured in the USA and is BAA compliant, assuring quality and reliability. This product is especially significant for medical and military professionals, and also accessible for general responders.Most popular related searches
