HALO Gel 

• Highly effective medical grade hydrogel that allows HALO Seal 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 to 140 degrees 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

• Oval shape allows for greater adherence around the contours of the body. 
• Large pull tab allows for effective placement and wound burping. 

Packaging
