Occlusive Dressing For Open Chest Wounds
The Beacon™ Chest Seal is an advanced occlusive wound dressing designed to treat open chest wounds. Penetrating injuries to the chest that result in open chest wounds 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.
The Beacon™ Chest Seal is available in both a vented and non-vented version. The vented version features our patented design that allows for one-way airflow out of the chest cavity during exhalation while preventing airflow into the chest cavity during inhalation. Our patented venting system maximizes venting and ensures proper chest seal function in the event of an obstruction.
