Asherman Chest Seal (Single)

The ACS Asherman Chest Seal is a safer approach to treating open pneumothorax and preventing tension pneumothorax in chest injuries from stabs, gunshot wounds or other penetrating chest trauma. The unique one-way valve is designed to let air and blood escape while preventing re-entry of either.

• Provides a sterile and disposable adhesive seal
• Circular design to aid conformability and cover the wound
• Particularly effective when applied to sucking chest wounds
• No need to decide whether a 3 or 4 sided dressing is required
• Extremely simple to apply
• Pressure sensitive adhesive to seal dressing in place.
• No invasive procedures
• Sterile dressing incorporating a gauze pad to clean and dry the wound.
• One way valve allows air to escape but totally eliminates the intake of outside air
• Flutter valve reduces the risk of a tension pneumothorax
