FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Greer, South Carolina, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) May 24, 2011 -- GREENVILLE, SC – North American Rescue’s HyFin® Xtreme Chest Seal was recently selected as one of
the most “Innovative New Products” at the 28th Annual EMS Today Conference that was held in
Baltimore, MD. The HyFin® Xtreme Chest Seal was designed to meet the need for a larger sized
occlusive dressing to treat multiple penetrating chest injuries due to blasts from improvised explosive
devices and multiple fragment peppering wounds seen on today’s battlefield.

The JEMS product review team, a group of seasoned EMS providers, scoured the exhibit hall at the EMS
Today Conference & Exhibition in March, 2011 looking for the most innovative, functional and
potentially life‐saving products to come onto the market in the past six months. The team selected
products that were identified to be the “Most Innovative New Products” because they felt they offered
remarkable improvements to patient care and provider performance.
Measuring H 8” x W 9.25”, the HyFin® Xtreme Chest Seal covers more than twice the surface area
compared to other chest seals. All versions of the of HyFin® Chest Seal family share the enhanced

features of an advanced adhesive gel formulation for a superior seal in the most adverse conditions, a
new transparent backing for easy placement over the wound area that conforms to the casualty’s chest
and a large, easily‐visible red elliptical pull tab for single step peel‐and‐apply application. In addition, all
HyFin® Chest Seals are Made in America, 100% latex free and come packaged in a rugged, easy‐to‐open
foil pouch featuring the reliability of Red Tip Technology™ red tear notches, NAR’s signature packaging
ensuring quality performance.
