Fast, confident chest-seal coverage

North American Rescue HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack is a vented chest seal made for rapid response to penetrating chest trauma. You get two chest seals in one compact, perforated foil pouch, so you can treat entry and exit wounds without digging for a second package. MPN 10-0042 gives you a field-friendly setup many law enforcement and EMS teams keep in IFAKs, go-bags, and armor pockets. The compact packaging is approximately 25% smaller than the standard HyFin Vent Chest Seal, so it fits low-profile kits without folding the dressing.

Built for messy, real-world conditions

The advanced hydrogel adhesive helps the seal grab even when the skin is sweaty, hairy, or contaminated. The large red pull tab and clear liner support quick peel-and-apply placement. The package shows simple four-step directions: wipe, peel, place, and press for a solid seal.

Why vented matters

Three vent channels let air escape during exhalation while helping block outside air from entering through the wound. Follow your established protocols and continually monitor the casualty for respiratory distress.
