About R – Respiration

Respiration is the third step of MARCH. Penetrating chest trauma can cause a life-threatening tension pneumothorax within minutes. This collection covers it: vented and non-vented chest seals from HyFin, HALO, and Russell, plus decompression tools for treating open chest wounds.

All TCCC-compliant and sourced from trusted trauma manufacturers. Seal the chest, buy time, and keep your casualty breathing — build these into any serious trauma kit.
