GET READY FOR SURVIVAL MODE
The Bolin Chest Seal comes sealed as a
sterile occlusive chest wound dressing for treating open pneumothorax or
collapsed lung situations. It is also used for preventing tension
pneumothorax that result from gunshots, stab wounds, or other
penetrating chest trauma. The patented failure-proof triple-valve design
of the BCS allows air and blood to escape while preventing the re-entry
of either, thereby eliminating any unwanted gas or liquid exchange at
the trauma site.
The large (6” diameter), rugged polyurethane disc
structure of the BCS can cover practically any size chest trauma site.
The temper of the disc prevents any disc wrinkling from occurring during
application. In addition, the wound side of the disc is covered with a
thick layer of jell-based adhesive, strong enough to not only seal over
hair and blood but also flexible enough to be removed and reapplied to
the trauma site if required.
In a side-by-side comparison of the
Bolin vs. Asherman Chest Seals both were equivalent in preventing the
development of a tension pneumothorax, however, the Bolin chest seal
demonstrated stronger adherence in blood soiled conditions.
