How To Apply The Russell Chest Seal®

In this video you will learn how to apply the Russell Chest Seal® over a penetrating chest injury.

The Russell Chest Seal® (RCS) is a hydrogel-based dressing with an integral low-profile, four apertures, and valve. It is used to cover penetrating chest wounds, and the valve mechanism allows air to escape from the pleural cavity without being drawn back in. This aims to minimise lung collapse associated with this injury and to facilitate lung re-inflation. The device will remain adhered over many hours and is comfortable for the patient in prolonged use (up to 24 hours).
