Description
The SAM Chest Seal is an occlusive dressing designed for treating open chest wounds, a life-threatening situation that could lead to tension pneumothorax.
The SAM® Chest Seal has an optional one-way valve that allows airflow from the chest cavity while preventing ingress. Its patented design also reduces internal obstruction from blood clots or soft tissue. Removing the cap exposes the valve, reattaching the cap stops the one-way valve operation.
