ARS for Needle Decompression Product Information Sheet

Intended for emergency relief and temporary management of sUSPected tension pneumothorax. Because tracheal deviation and jugular venous distention may not always be identified, a tension pneumothorax should be supspected when the following three criteria are identified: 1) Increasing respiratory distress or difficulty ventilating a patient with a bag-valve-mask device. 2) Markedly decreased or absent breath sounds on the ipsilateral side. 3) Hemodynamic compromise (decompensated shock) manifested by hypotension and/or evidence of diminished perfusion.

• Catheter-over-needle placement facilitates controlled, minimally invasive catheter introduction
• Reinforced catheter prevents collapse

The Curaplex® Trach Hook is used for holding the trachea steady during tracheostomy. Made of stainless steel.

Formerly the H&H Tension Pneumothorax Needle, The TyTek Tension Pneumothorax Access Pack (TPAK) a 14 gauge by 3.25 inch needle and catheter for use in the management of combat casualties who present with the signs and symptoms of a tension pneumothorax. This device meets 100% of the requirements for fit, form and function that is listed for NSN 6515-01-541-0635. The needle and catheter are protected from bending or damage and harsh environmental conditions while in your kit by a hard plastic case.

The QuickTrach allows quick and safe access for ventilation in the presence of acute respiratory distress with upper airway obstruction. The kit consists of a pre-assembled emergency cricothyrotomy unit with a 10 ml syringe attached to a padded neck strap and a connecting tube. Product specifications: Plastic cannula with fixation flange and 15mm connector. Removable stainless steel cricothyrotomy needle. Removable stopper. Product Benefits: Removable stopper reduces risk of damage to the rear wall of the trachea. Conical needle tip guarantees the smallest necessary stoma and reduces bleeding. The syringe allows identification of the trachea by aspirating air. Connecting tube for immediate ventilation.

The Control-Cric™ system includes:

• Cric-Knife™
• Cric-Key™

The Cric-Knife has a 10mm long dual sided blade with an integrated sliding tracheal-hook. The Cric-Key™ has a pre-shaped stylet that provides airway confirmation with tactile feel of the tracheal rings, along with a 5.5mm soft tube with cuff.

The Russell PneumoFix® is a sterile decompression needle designed for the removal of fl­uid from the pleural cavity by appropriately trained medical professionals.

Designed by practicing clinicians who understand the limitations of conventional equipment, the Russell PneumoFix™ has the following features:

• For medical professionals, use of the Russell PneumoFix™ is quick, simple and intuitive.
• Unlike the intravenous cannula, used historically in an improvised way for the management of tension pneumothorax, the Russell PneumoFix™ is designed specifically for this purpose.
• The Russell PneumoFix™ has been designed to be inserted without the need for a scalpel or skin incision.
• The device incorporates a Veress-tipped needle to minimize risk of injury to lung tissue.
• 11cm long catheter – long enough to reach the pleural cavity of the vast majority of patients.
• Low pressure one-way valve – to allow air and fluid out but nothing in.
• Graduated markings and X-ray detectable catheter – for depth recording and accurate localization at hospital.
• 12-Gauge catheter– allows for rapid venting of air in tension pneumothorax
• Material chosen which minimizes the risk of kinking of the catheter.

• Size: 8 French
• Blunt safety cannula, housed within the sharp, beveled hollow needle
• Protects underlying tissue from inadvertent penetration
• Color-coded indicator
• Ball valve in catheter housing
• One-way duck bill valve in needle hub
• In-line stopcock
• Provides direct visualization of the safety cannula position as the needle is inserted
• Closed system prevents accidental pneumothorax
• Allows air and fluid to escape from the needle yet prevents atmospheric air from entering pleural space and prevents accidental pneumothorax
• Provides convenient accessibility to drainage assembly while maintaining a closed system
