Why it matters
Respiration covers everything between airway and circulation: chest seals for open chest wounds, decompression needles for tension pneumothorax, attention to breathing rate and effort. R is where a well-equipped medic can dramatically alter the casualty's trajectory in the field.
Compact decompression needle for chest decompression in suspected tension pneumothorax, with an integrated Heimlich valve and a tip optimised for Monaldi/Bülau techniques. Its small size stores easily in pouches for critical situations.
Vented chest seal for open chest wounds, with separate vent channels that let air escape while blocking entry and significantly delay blockage from coagulated blood. Its anatomic oval shape supports reliable air release without losing adhesion.
Occlusive (non-vented) chest seal for complete sealing of open chest wounds, holding adhesion even during repositioning or decompression. Tear-resistant and pre-folded, it opens and applies fast in any conditions.
