The HALO Advantage:

HALO Gel

• Highly effective medical grade hydrogel that allows HALO Vent to stick in wet, bloody, sandy or harsh environments.
• Features scrim, a non-woven material that is added to the HALO hydrogel to keep the gel from migrating in high heat environments.
• Temperature range of -30° - 140° F.

Outer Tape Edge

• Tape edge is more forgiving when handling with gloved or bare hands.
• Studies show that the outer tape edge has a wider operating temperature range and performs extremely well in freezing and elevated temperatures.

Size and Shape

• Covers a greater surface area, and aids in coverage of larger, unpredictable wound patterns.
• Oval shape allows for greater adherence around the contours of the body.
• Large pull tab allows for effective placement and wound burping.

Packaging

• Durable packaging is impenetrable to water, air, gases, and is puncture and tear resistant.
• Material can be used as an additional occlusive barrier, by using tape to secure the barrier.
• The package contains tear notches at all 4 corners.
