The Beacon™ Chest Seal is an advanced occlusive dressing designed to treat open chest wounds. Penetrating injuries to the chest that result in open chest wounds may lead to tension pneumothorax, the second leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield. Beacon™ Chest Seals are specifically designed with a medical grade hydrogel adhesive strong enough to adhere to skin that is exposed to blood, sweat, hair, sand or water.
Quarter folded to minimize size restraints
The Beacon Chest seal is configured ideally to fit in kits, even in small personal trauma kits. The entire package is only 6" x 4", making it by far the most "packable" chest seal we know of. Below, the package is shown with a standard business card on top:
The Beacon™ Chest Seal is available in both a vented and non-vented version. The vented version features a patent pending design with 4 vents that allow for one-way airflow out of the chest cavity during exhalation while preventing airflow into the chest cavity during inhalation. The 4 vent design maximizes venting and ensures proper chest seal function in the event of an obstruction.
The Beacon™ Chest Seal Meets CoTCCC Preferred Features for Chest Seals.

Smallest functional option
When needed a vented chest seal is a life saver. It is an important IFAK item. As such the ability to fit in a small kit is a determining factor of it being at hand. This seems small enough to fit in the most compact kit. I like the twin packs better in my larger kits but this slips in nicely in the small ones.

Underrated
I love these chest seals. They fit perfectly into the Rescue Essentials plain clothes carry ifak pouch. I have 2 in mine. They work very well and are highly underrated.
