The HyFin® Chest Seal (SKU: MEDTAC0574, NAR Item# 10-0015) by North American Rescue is a non-vented (occlusive) individual chest seal for penetrating chest wounds where a vented seal is not indicated — including posterior wounds, debris-rich environments, or as the second seal in a combo treatment protocol. The 6" × 6" seal uses the same enhanced hydrogel adhesive as the HyFin Vent, with NSN 6510-01-532-8019. Weight: 1.44 oz.

Product Overview
The HyFin® Chest Seal (occlusive, non-vented) is the NAR product to reach for when a fully occlusive seal is the clinical need — specifically: posterior (back) chest wounds where vent positioning would face the ground; multiple anterior wounds where one receives the vented and the other the non-vented seal; or environments with heavy debris contamination where vent channels risk occluding. The 2024 CoTCCC TCCC Guidelines specify that vented seals are the first-line choice, and if unavailable, non-vented seals should be applied with ongoing monitoring for tension pneumothorax development. This individual seal supports that protocol as the non-vented component.
The HyFin® Chest Seal deploys to a full 6" × 6", identical in size to the vented HyFin® Vent. The transparent construction allows accurate wound-centered placement without obstructing the provider's view of the wound. The large red elliptical tab enables single-step peel-and-apply application with gloved hands and provides a consistent burping mechanism — lifting the tab edge releases accumulated pressure if tension pneumothorax develops. The enhanced hydrogel adhesive bonds to skin contaminated with blood, sweat, and hair.
The individual packaging format is preferred for IFAK builds where the user selects their own combination — for example, carrying one HyFin Occlusive alongside one HyFin Vent in the same kit, or replacing a non-vented seal used in a combo pack without purchasing a complete new combo. NSN 6510-01-532-8019 enables procurement through military supply channels. Browse MED-TAC's complete chest & thoracic supplies or see IFAK kit configurations.
When to Use a Non-Vented Chest Seal
Per the 2024 TCCC Guidelines, vented seals are preferred for all open chest wounds. However, non-vented seals remain clinically appropriate in specific circumstances: (1) when only non-vented seals are available; (2) for posterior wounds where gravity would prevent a vent from functioning properly; (3) for the second wound in a multi-wound treatment protocol using a USMC-style combo approach; and (4) in environments where vent occlusion risk is extremely high. Whenever a non-vented seal is applied, the standard of care requires ongoing monitoring for signs of tension pneumothorax — worsening respiratory distress, decreasing SpO₂, tracheal deviation — and readiness to burp the seal or perform needle decompression.
