The SAM® Chest Seal 2.0 is designed to treat open chest wounds by creating a dependable seal that can be sealed and resealed in demanding conditions. It is built for swift, straightforward application and is engineered to adhere firmly in extreme temperatures and challenging environments.
Its TRUFLOW™ Valve is a dome-shaped, one-way valve that allows airflow from the chest cavity while helping to minimise internal blockage from elements such as blood clots or soft tissue. The transparent, elastic dressing conforms over the wound and uses a strong Hydrogel adhesive designed to maintain adhesion in the presence of blood, sweat, hair, sand or water.
The SAM® Chest Seal 2.0 is suited to trained responders and organisations that need a compact chest wound seal for emergency medical response, trauma care and challenging field conditions.
Use the SAM® Chest Seal 2.0 according to product instructions, local protocols and appropriate training. The supplied application guidance is straightforward and designed for rapid placement over an open chest wound.
Open chest wounds are serious injuries and can be life-threatening. The SAM® Chest Seal 2.0 is intended for emergency wound sealing and should be used as part of appropriate first aid, trauma response or clinical protocols.
