Reliable Decompression for Tension Pneumothorax The MedSource Decompression Needle (14g x 3.25″) is engineered for the fast, safe, and effective management of tension pneumothorax. Designed for EMS professionals and tactical medics, this device features a Triple-Facet, Back-Cut Needle that ensures smooth insertion with minimal tissue trauma. The 3.25-inch length is the recommended standard for penetrating the chest wall of adult patients to reach the pleural space reliably. Housed in a Rugged Hard Shell Case with a textured easy-grip cap, this needle is built to survive in jump bags and tactical kits without compromising sterility or safety. Key Features Ideal Length: At 3.25 inches (8.25 cm), this catheter is sized to reach the pleural space in 99% of patients, overcoming the limitations of shorter IV catheters. Rugged Protection: The Hard Shell Case prevents accidental needle sticks and keeps the device sterile even when crushed inside a crowded trauma bag. Rapid Deployment: The Twist-to-Open Cap allows for instant, one-handed access, ensuring you aren't fumbling with packaging when seconds count. Precision Insertion: The Triple-Facet Needle is ultra-sharp for easy penetration, while the Rigid PTFE Catheter resists kinking during insertion and transport. Flash Chamber: Includes a standard flash chamber to provide visual confirmation of placement (though air release is the primary indicator for pneumothorax). Why It Matters Tension pneumothorax is a leading cause of preventable death in chest trauma. When a chest seal isn't enough, you need to "pop the chest." Standard IV needles are often too short or too soft to work effectively. The MedSource needle provides the rigidity and length required to successfully vent the chest and restore lung function, packaged in a container that withstands the abuse of field work. Technical Overview The unit contains 1 Sterile Decompression Needle. Size: 14 Gauge x 3.25″. Material: Stainless Steel / PTFE. Sterility: EO Sterile.
