The Hexagon Chest Seal is excellent for treating bullet wounds and other penetrating chest injuries. Its strongly adhesive hydrogel allows it to conform to the skin surface, and its hexagonal shape can cover a large area. The package includes two individually wrapped Chest Seals, allowing you to use only one if needed or to treat both an entry and exit wound with a single set.

Open chest wounds can lead to much more than just blood loss. For this reason, chest seals are an essential part of modern first aid and a valuable addition to any trauma kit. Tension pneumothorax caused by penetrating upper torso injuries is one of the battlefield’s deadliest wounds. With a chest seal, you can cover a projectile or blade-induced puncture to prevent air from entering the chest cavity. Vented chest seals feature a one-way valve that allows excess air to escape from the pleural space during exhalation while preventing air from entering during inhalation.
