The Russell Chest Seal is a low-profile, hydrogel-based dressing designed for the management of penetrating chest wounds in demanding emergency and tactical environments. Its four-aperture valve system creates a one-way seal, allowing air to escape from the pleural cavity while helping prevent re-entry. This helps minimise lung collapse and supports re-inflation following a penetrating chest injury. The dressing incorporates a water-containing gel matrix on non-woven fabric, with silicone-coated release liners for easy application and comfortable extended wear. The secure adhesive maintains reliable contact while allowing the wound area to be monitored.

Compact and practical, the Russell Chest Seal is suited to military and tactical medical kits, emergency services, trauma centres, and first-aid applications, providing rapid access to essential chest-wound management when it matters most.
