A hydrogel-based multi-layer dressing with a low-profile, four-aperture valve [1]
The Safeguard Difference: The Russell Chest Seal® is designed for performance. Its advanced hydrogel matrix is mounted on a non-woven fabric, enabling a flexible and continuous adhering surface, while its silicone-coated release liner prevents stretching and distortion.
The Russell Chest Seal is one of only two chest seals proven 100% effective in an open chest wound model with active bleeding. The Russell Chest Seal is a hydrogel-based multi-layer dressing with a low-profile, four-aperture valve. [1] Our hydrogel base is proven effective in extreme temperatures, demonstrating no loss of adherence when tested at -19.5ºC (-3.1ºF) and at 71.5ºC (160.7ºF) on various surfaces of the skin. [1]
