Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Nightingale different from a standard dressing?
The Nightingale uses enhanced adhesive that maintains its seal in the challenging conditions of a trauma scene - blood-soaked skin, perspiration, and body hair. Standard dressings may peel or lose adhesion in these conditions. The larger format also covers wounds that would require multiple standard dressings.
Can this be used as a chest seal?
The Nightingale provides an occlusive seal that can be used to cover penetrating chest wounds as a field expedient. However, purpose-built chest seals with valve mechanisms such as the Russell, FoxSeal, or SAM provide more reliable pneumothorax management. Use the Nightingale for chest wounds only when a dedicated chest seal is not available.
