North American Rescue Hyfin Vent Chest Seal, Original Version 2 Count (Pack of 1)

HAVE TRAINED WITH THESE, IMPERATIVE AS PART OF ANY IFAK - STURDY PACKAGING WILL HOLD UP TO EDC

Im a paramedic/firefighter and these are amazing. Ordered 3 more for my sons who shoot, just in case.

Item is exactly as described. Great for a first aid kit for EMTs, Paramedics, Nurses, and Physicians. Hope I never have to use it but Im sure it will do the job!

Looks to be as described

Please keep a few things in mind when wondering if you want to buy this. First this product is not made for any type of wound other than a sucking chest ( a sucking chest wound is any would that creates a hole into the lungs) and in order to identify that can be difficult so any wound in the chest or back that you can hear air and/or see bubbles of blood coming out of is 98% of the time going to be one. If you dont have a product like this and you find yourself needing to give first aid then you can do so by using any piece of plastic ( preferably something sterile but I know thats not always something you can find in a emergency) and some tape. Put the piece of plastic over the wound and tape three sides leaving one open in order to let air escape but not allow the air to flow back inside. After using this product or the method I just mentioned you still need to make sure the person your treating doesnt get to much build up of air between the skin and lung itself, signs of this are lips and fingers turning blue, one side of the chest looking larger than the other , veins starting to bulge and extreme shortness or breath. If this happens remove the plastic or product to allow the air to escape then recover the wound. Now with all that out of the way one of the dangers you need to be aware of when using something like this product is making sure the three vents are allowing air to escape so keep that in mind when using something like this. Anyway I do recommend buying things like this but knowing the dangers that come with preforming first aid. Well I pray none of you ever need to use it.

Good product

I would definitely recommend these chest seals you cant go wrong with the products form North American Rescue and ships fast and I was able to fit them in my ancle med kit.

Received only one item when advertised as pack of two. Renders the purchase pointless, since the product is intended to be used in sets of two for entrance and exit wounds.

Lets hope I never have to use them

Good
