Airway & Breathing

The HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack is a vital tool for treating penetrating chest injuries in both emergency response and field care scenarios. Featuring a three-channel vented design, it helps manage open chest wounds by allowing air to escape during exhalation while preventing air from entering during inhalation — effectively reducing the risk of tension pneumothorax.

Each seal measures 12cm x 12cm (excluding the tab) and uses advanced adhesive technology to ensure reliable performance, even on sweaty, bloody, or hairy skin. Packaged in a rugged, easy-to-open foil pouch, the seals are individually perforated for hygienic, one-at-a-time access.

Its compact form factor makes it perfect for IFAKs, go-bags, or cargo pockets, where space is limited. With the twin pack, you’re always prepared with a backup or for treating multiple injuries in the field.

The Pneumeric Capnospot Decompression Indicator revolutionises tension pneumothorax treatment with immediate visual confirmation of successful needle placement. This innovative device transforms a traditionally subjective procedure into an objective, visually-confirmed intervention, especially critical in noisy pre-hospital environments.

The Capnospot attaches to any standard needle using a universal luer lock fitting. When properly placed in a tension pneumothorax, the device's colorimetric indicator paper changes from dark blue to bright yellow within seconds upon contact with CO₂, providing instant, objective feedback of successful decompression.

TGA-approved and developed at a leading healthcare institution, the Capnospot addresses the significant challenge of confirming needle thoracostomy success in challenging field conditions where auditory confirmation can be unreliable.

Features

• Immediate visual feedback of successful decompression within seconds
• Universal luer lock fitting compatible with all standard decompression needles
• Distinct blue-to-yellow color change for clear binary confirmation
• Lightweight, portable design ideal for field use
• Effective in high-noise environments where auditory confirmation fails
• Backed by clinical data demonstrating higher accuracy than clinical judgment alone
• TGA-approved for use throughout Australia

FAQs What is the benefit of using Capnospot over traditional methods? Traditional methods rely on subjective auditory cues which can be impossible to detect in noisy environments. Capnospot provides objective visual confirmation, reducing failure rates in life-threatening situations.

Which medical providers would benefit most from the Capnospot? Paramedics, combat medics, emergency physicians, air medical crews, and any provider who may need to treat tension pneumothorax, especially in challenging field conditions.

Is the Capnospot compatible with my existing equipment? Yes, the Capnospot is designed with a standard luer lock fitting that attaches to any commercially available needle used for decompression.

Is the Capnospot reusable? No, the Capnospot is a single-use device designed for emergency intervention. Each device should be disposed of after use according to medical waste protocols.

How does the Capnospot work in low-light conditions? The high-contrast color change from dark blue to bright yellow is visible even in challenging lighting conditions, making it suitable for tactical and austere environments.
