New Larger HALO XL Seal for IED Wounds

It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of PMI’s HALO Chest Seal and it’s the only chest seal we put into our ETA Kits.

PMI has just released the details on the big brother to the HALO Chest Seal, the HALO XL. A highly aggressive oversized 8.5″ x 12″ transparent occlusive dressing designed primarily to cover larger blast wounds. The XL is an excellent occlusive dressing for large abdominal wounds, peppering chest wounds associated with IED blast injuries and secondary blast injuries (SBIs) along with securing other wound dressings.

The patented hydro-gel provides superior adhesion to the wound area even when moisture, fluids, or blood is present. PMI also tells us that the hydro-gel adhesion properties of the XL are actually more aggressive than the standard HALO Chest Seal.

Like the HALO Chest Seals, the Halo XL also performs without loss of adhesion in extreme temperatures. Performance tested from (-40 °C) -40 ° to (65 °C) 150 ° Fahrenheit. You can also store and carry the XL folded like the original chest seals without a loss of integrity or functionality. And of course they’re made in the USA!
