Russell™ Chest Seal, Vented
A hydrogel-based multi-layer dressing with a low-profile, four-aperture valve.
The Safeguard Difference: The Russell Chest Seal® is designed for performance. Its advanced hydrogel matrix is mounted on a non-woven fabric, enabling a flexible and continuous adhering surface, while its silicone-coated release liner prevents stretching and distortion.
