Abstract
A novel occlusive dressing which allows the escape of fluid and air in cases of penetrating thoracic trauma. The dressing comprises a one-way valve that lies flat on the body of the patient during use such that the fluid from the wound is able to drain away without air from the surrounding environment penetrating the wound.
