Chinook Asherman Chest Seal Dressing

The Chinook Asherman Chest Seal (ACS) is the safer alternative to treating open pneumothorax and preventing tension pneumothorax caused by chest injuries from gunshot wounds, stab wounds, or other penetrating trauma. With its proven effectiveness, the ACS has become standard issue for the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. It features a 5.5" diameter ample dressing size, a clear circular design for optimal visualization of the wound, a one-way valve that allows air and blood to escape while preventing re-entry, a gauze pad for wound cleaning and drying, strong military-grade adhesive that is pressure-sensitive for an effective seal, and it is sterile and comes in an easy-open package.
