The Russell Chest Seal is a hydrogel-based dressing with a low-profile, four-aperture valve system designed for treating penetrating chest wounds. It creates a one-way seal allowing air to escape the pleural cavity while preventing re-entry, minimising lung collapse and aiding re-inflation.

This device features a water-containing gel matrix on non-woven fabric with silicon-coated release liners, ensuring comfortable long-term wear. The seal remains securely adhered for extended periods while allowing wound monitoring, ideal for emergency services, trauma centres, first aid, and military use.
