Beacon Chest Seal - Vented - Kit Size

The Kit-sized Vented Beacon™ Chest Seal is an occlusive dressing designed to treat open chest wounds.  Penetrating injuries to the chest (between the neck and navel) that result in open chest wounds, need to be covered, and may lead to tension pneumothorax, the second leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield.  Beacon™ Chest Seals are specifically designed with a medical grade hydrogel adhesive strong enough to adhere to skin that is exposed to blood, sweat, hair, sand or water. This vented seal features a patent pending design with 4 vents that allow for one-way blood and airflow out of the chest cavity during exhalation while preventing airflow into the chest cavity during inhalation, which is the cause of pneumothorax.  See video below for training.  NOTE: An entrance wound often means there is an exit wound. Be prepared to protect a second wound.  The Beacon™ Chest Seal Meets CoTCCC Preferred Features for Chest Seals.  • FDA 510(k) Exempt, CE Marking • Used by Military
