H&H has made several important improvements to the overall design of this product in response to customer feedback. The improvements you will see include:

• Enlarging the pull tab for easier removal of the chest seal from the backer and easier use and application.
• Adding a dry edge around the exterior of the seal to reduce incidences of adhesive sticking to packaging or user’s gloves. Upgrading the hydro-gel for increased adhesion.
• Repositioning of the three one-way valves into a straight line to make folding the product into kits and packs easier.
• Adhering the one-way valves to the valve cover and adding a foam stabilizer to lock the valves in place and reduce the risk of air getting past the valves and into the chest.

The Bolin Chest Seal now comes packaged with a 5" x 9" ABD Trauma pad.

Sucking chest wounds require an emergency first aid solution that is fast, direct, and effective: the H&H Bolin Chest Seal™ (BCS™) is specifically engineered to meet these critical needs.

The BCS™ is a sterile occlusive chest wound dressing for treating open pneumothorax and preventing tension pneumothoraces that result from gunshots, stab wounds, or other penetrating chest trauma. The patented failure-proof triple-valve design of the BCS™ allows air and blood to escape while preventing the re-entry of either, thereby eliminating any unwanted gas or liquid exchange at the trauma site.

The Journal "Injury" did a side-by-side comparison of the Bolin vs. Asherman Chest Seals using porcine (swine) models. Both performed well, however in the presence of blood the Bolin outperformed:

Conclusions:
"The Bolin and Asherman chest seals were equivalent in preventing the development of a tension pneumothorax in this open pneumothorax model. However, the Bolin chest seal demonstrated stronger adherence in blood soiled conditions."
