When every second counts in a trauma or emergency setting, this Emergency Pneumothorax Set provides the essential components for the one-way evacuation of air from the pleural space. This "dry" set is engineered for maximum reliability, featuring a 15GA needle that guides the flexible 8.5Fr catheter safely into position.
Key Features for Life-Saving Decompression:
-
8.5Fr x 6cm Catheter: The 6cm length is specifically designed to navigate the chest wall and reach the pleural space effectively, while the 8.5Fr diameter ensures high-flow air evacuation.
-
Catheter-Over-Needle Technique: Facilitates a smooth, controlled insertion process, allowing for the immediate withdrawal of the needle once the catheter is securely placed.
-
Integrated One-Way Chest Drain Valve: Ensures that air can only move out of the chest cavity, preventing the re-entry of atmospheric air and effectively relieving intra-thoracic pressure.
-
Advanced Fixation Components: Includes a Molnar disc and a dedicated catheter fixation device, providing superior stability to prevent displacement during patient transport or subsequent procedures.
-
Fully Sterile & Disposable: Each set is individually packaged for immediate use in the ER, ICU, or field trauma settings, ensuring the highest standards of infection control.
