Pneumothorax

This set contains everything needed to treat simple pneumothorax.

• Improved success in resolving tPTX and PEA (Pulseless Electrical Activity)
• Rigid needle remains in place
• No risk of cannula collapse or kinking
• Positive indicator of correct placement in pleural space
• Etched markings for depth control
• Reduced sharps hazard

Used in conjunction with pneumothorax aspiration catheters if incomplete expansion of the lung persists after mechanical aspiration of air. Connection of the one-way cook chest drain valve to the catheter permits continued re-expansion of the lung by natural forces, preventing inadvertent backflow of air into the pleural space.CC155900
