Understanding the need and importance of the form, fit, and function of training devices, the HyFin Chest Seal Trainer provides a cost-effective solution to equip providers with the best training alternative, other than using the actual device, for both vented and occlusive chest seals. Specifically designed to increase user familiarity, the HyFin Chest Seal Trainer utilises the same template as the HyFin Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack but uses a less aggressive adhesive designed for effective chest seal application on both human skin and a training manikin. This allows for training of proper placement of not only the chest seal itself but also of the vent over a simulated wound.

Packaged in the same rugged, compact foil pouch, the HyFin Chest Seal Trainer also features a unique perforated package that allows the student to open only one chest seal if needed. Made in America and 100% latex free, NAR packages each chest seal using its signature Red Tip Technology red tear notches in a rugged, easy-to-open, foil pouch to ensure high-quality performance.

Features:

• Cost effective training solution
• Unique adhesive gel formulation designed not to damage manikins or leave behind excessive adhesive residue
• Designed for optimal training in the same form and function as the HyFin Chest Seal
• Each seal also comes with a gauze pad to wipe the wound surface prior to chest seal application as needed

The Russell Chest Seal? is designed for the immediate management of an open chest wound and to minimise the risk of developing tension pneumothorax.

The Russell Chest Seal? is a hydrogel-based dressing with an integral low-profile, four apertures, valve. The base material of the chest seal is a hydrogel matrix, which comprises a water-containing gel, mounted onto a non-woven fabric with silicon-coated release liners. 

The Russell Chest Seal? is used to cover penetrating chest wounds, and the valve mechanism allows air to escape from the pleural cavity without being drawn back in. This aims to minimise lunge collapse associated with this injury and to facilitate lung re-inflation. 

The device will remain adhered over many hours and is comfortable for the patient in prolonged use (up to 24 hours).
