TRUFlow Valve
The SAM Chest Seal's rigid, raised-dome valve ensures one-way airflow from the chest cavity under austere operating conditions. Large side vents minimize internal obstruction from blood clots or soft tissue. Whether in transport or in the presence of heavy body armor, the TRUFlow™ Valve will continue to vent.
Superior Hydrogel Adhesive
Medical professionals have long needed an adhesive strong enough to seal a wound covered in sweat, blood, hair, sand, water, and more. The superior Hydrogel adhesive not only adheres under these conditions but even after removal for venting, the SAM Chest Seal will reseal the wound.
Oval Seal
Larger than other occlusive dressings, its oval shape maximizes the surface area of the seal. Its transparency, elasticity, and conformability ensure effective adhesion.
Dual Application Tabs
Tabs facilitate the proper placement and removal of the adhesive dressing, with the ability to vent and reseal.
Fortified Gel
Strong Hydrogel adheres in the presence of blood, hair, sweat, and sand, or when submerged in water.
Thin Edge Layer
The thin edge layer resists lifting or peeling, maintaining a formidable seal.
Night Vision Optimized
Optimized for night vision, the pouch, dressing backing, and tabs provide ideal contrast for visibility in normal light, low light, and night conditions (using a night vision device).
