My drill sergeant used to say "a sucking chest wound is nature's way of saying you've been in a fire fight."
MAN we trained hard to learn how to apply plastic cigarette package wrappers and/or MRE bags... that was decades ago.
Now you got your ACS (Asherman), BCS (Bolin), HALO, Fox brand, and HyFins and...
You hope you'll never need one.
Forever the boy scout, I carry a set of these in my range bag and another in a blowout kit for when I'm hunting with friends.
You never know.
Cheap insurance.
Great product at descent price point although I think all these are a bit pricey. The length is a bit long packaging but okay. Hopefully I won't have to put this to use. I have this as part of my ankle trauma kit
I've got a couple of small rip away pouches that are way too small to accommodate regular full size chest seals.
These compact deals are perfect.
All around great. great product & great service.
Got what I expected

Description
*** This Product Cannot Be Shipped Internationally The HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack is a smaller version of the regular Hyfin Vent Twin Pack which gives responders two vented chest seals in a compact packaging for the treatment of penetrating injuries to the chest. Designed with 3-vented channels that allow air to escape the chest cavity during exhalation but prevents air from entering through the injury site during inhalation. Each HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal is 4.75" x 4.75" and made with advanced adhesive to provide a superior adhesion in the most adverse conditions, including sweaty or hairy casualties. Contained in a rugged, easy-to-open foil pouch, the perforated packaging allows users to open only one dressing at a time as needed. Its small packaging is ideal for low profile kits as you do not have to fold it to get it to fit in your kit, go-bag, cargo pocket or body armor. Weight: 1.6 ozs Packaged: Folded: H 6.5 in. x W 3.875 in. x D 0.25 in. Unfolded: L 6.5 in. x W 7.75 in. x D 0.13 in. Chest Seal Size When Deployed: H 4.75 in. x W 4.75 in.
Not dramatically smaller, but still noticeable. Haven't used it but will likely buy the compact size again versus standard.
Small, delivered fast and has good expiration date
