The HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack is purpose‑built for the rapid management of penetrating chest trauma, specifically designed for entry and/or exit wounds that may lead to open or tension pneumothorax. With two individual vented chest seals in one pouch, this product enables responders to treat both an entrance and an exit wound—or to keep the second seal in reserve for evolving injuries—providing flexibility in trauma scenarios. The vented design supports the evacuation of air from the pleural space while preventing re‑entry of ambient air, thereby helping stabilize casualties who might otherwise develop life‑threatening respiratory compromise.

What sets this chest seal apart is its optimized design for austere or high‑stress environments. The hydrogel adhesive is formulated to stick firmly to chest surfaces even when the skin is covered in sweat, hair or blood, ensuring consistent seal integrity in challenging conditions—be it on a battlefield, in an ambulance or during a mass‑casualty event. The large red tab and transparent backing film offer a one‑step peel‑and‑apply workflow, allowing first‑responders to act quickly under pressure. Moreover, the tri‑vent channel system provides redundancy: even if two channels become blocked by debris or fluid, the third maintains venting capability, reducing the risk of seal failure during high‑risk applications. 10-0042

Operationally and logistically the compact twin‑pack format offers meaningful advantages. The reduced packaging size (~25% smaller than the standard variant) means the unit is highly portable and integrates easily into individual first aid kits, IFAKs, patrol bags, or cargo pockets without the need to fold or compromise the product. Having two seals in one pack also means inventory efficiency and readiness for worst‑case scenarios. The North American Rescue HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal is therefore a versatile, high‑performance solution that aligns both with clinical best‑practice for chest trauma and the real‑world demands of pre‑hospital, tactical or emergency use.
