Vented Chest Seal | LXCSV6

When seconds matter in a trauma situation, the Lightning X CSV6 Vented Chest Seal provides lifesaving performance for penetrating chest injuries. Designed for use by first responders, military personnel, law enforcement, and prepared civilians, this occlusive dressing seals open chest wounds caused by gunshots, stabbings, or other penetrating trauma. By helping prevent the development of tension pneumothorax — the second leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield — the CSV6 Chest Seal delivers critical intervention when it’s needed most.

Engineered with a high-tack, medical-grade hydrogel adhesive, this seal sticks securely even in the harshest conditions. Whether the skin is contaminated by blood, sweat, hair, sand, or water, the CSV6 maintains a strong bond to protect the wound. Its transparent backing allows for precise placement over the injury site, while the low-profile packaging (5.75” x 4”) makes it ideal for fitting inside IFAKs, tactical pouches, and compact first aid kits.

The Lightning X CSV6 features a channeled flap vent design that self-regulates to release air and fluids while preventing re-entry of air and debris. Measuring 6.6” round with 1.25” side tabs, this chest seal also includes a 4-ply 4” x 4” sterile gauze pad for wound cleaning prior to application. Built for speed, strength, and reliability, the CSV6 is a must-have component in any trauma kit or emergency medical pack.
