SUPPLYING TIME WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS
We design, develop, and manufacture lifesaving medical products.
MANUFACTURED IN THE US
All MDI products are manufactured in the United States. USA-based manufacturing enables us to collaborate with our strategic partners, reduce lead times on our products, and elevate the service level we provide to our customers.
PURPOSE BUILT
We spend months collaborating with our customers to formulate and customize hydrogels that meet their unique needs. Our custom hydrogels are used in each of our halo products.
INSPIRED DESIGN
When designing our products we focus on usability and efficacy. They need to be user friendly, while helping to save lives.
OUR HISTORY
Medical Devices, Inc. was founded in 1982. For 20 years, MDI focused on selling general medical consumables to customers across the United States. With the onset of the Gulf War, our focus shifted. We started stocking tactical medical products that helped doctors and soldiers overseas. Stories began surfacing from the war about the makeshift and improvised chest seals that were being created to treat blast injuries and penetrating chest wounds. In 2009, we finalized our solution and launched the Halo Chest Seal. The name “Halo” was deliberate, symbolizing its life-saving purpose. Our goal was to create a durable, adhesive chest seal capable of performing in extreme environments and harsh physical conditions. Halo products are intended for use in emergency situations where a penetrating chest wound is present.
CENTRAL VENT
The Halo Vent utilizes a central vent that opens and closes as the patient breathes. During inhalation the vent rapidly closes, sealing the chest cavity from air exchange. During exhalation, the vent opens and allows excess pressure to escape from the chest cavity.
TEMPERATURE TESTED
The Halo Vent went through numerous tests to determine the limits of our product. Data shows the Halo Vent remains effective from -30 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or -34 to 60 degrees Celsius.
DUAL ADHESION
The Halo Vent uses an outer tape edge and our custom hydrogel as bonding agents to ensure proper adherence to the patient.

What is the difference between an IFAK and a Flat Pack?
IFAK’s and Flat Packs are the two different packaging sizes we offer (depending on region).
The IFAK, or Individual First Aid Kit pouch, measures 5.5″ x 7.5″ and is roughly half the size of the Flat Pack. The IFAK pouch was designed to save space. Products used in the IFAK pouch are folded in half.
The Flat pack measures 7.5″ x 10.875″, and is a response to several customer requests. These customers preferred their products not to be folded, so we designed a package to accommodate that preference. Products in the Flat pack are non-folded and lay flat in the pouch.
*Please be aware that not all pouches and products are available in all regions.
Do Halo Vents come in different sizes?
