The Needle Decompression Indicator Kit (NIK) brings together the MedSource Labs Decompression Needle and the Capnospot® from Pneumeric™ in a single, convenient solution for treating tension pneumothorax.

The MedSource Labs Decompression Needle features a long catheter designed to relieve pressure within the pleural cavity. The Capnospot® is a unique visual indicator that helps confirm successful decompression. It connects easily to the decompression needle using a standard luer fitting.

Decompression Needle:

• Hard shell case protects against accidental needlestick and maintains device sterility before use
• Twist-open design allows quick and easy access
• Triple-facet beveled needle with back cut helps reduce insertion trauma
• Rigid PTFE catheter provides strength for entry and maintains airflow for decompression
• Color-coded catheter hub enables quick size identification
• Contoured grip supports a steady hold during emergency procedures

Capnospot®:

• Provides visual confirmation within seconds to indicate whether decompression was successful and allows immediate catheter adjustment
• Color-coded indicator shows blue before decompression and turns yellow when CO2 is detected as gas passes through the device
• Attaches easily with a standard luer lock fitting
• Remains visible and effective in low-light environments
