Decompression & Cric

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

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.

After surveying medics and corpsmen in the field, Curaplex developed this vacuum-sealed chest decompression kit. All instruments, dressing and hardware in this kit are packaged sterile.

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.

• A pre-assembled emergency cricothyrotomy unit
• 10 ml syringe
• Padded neck strap
• Connecting tube

• Plastic cannula with:
  • Fixation flange
  • 15mm connector
• Cricothyrotomy Needle
  • Stainless steel 
  • Removable 
• Removable stopper

• 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

• 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

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

This kit provides emergency care providers with an assortment of supplies that assist in emergency airway establishment.

Kit Includes:

• (1) Scalpel, 3in
• (1) ET tube holder with white Velcro strap
• (1) Curaplex® trach hook
• (1) Syringe, Luer lock, 10mL
• (1) Face Mask
• (2) Gauze Pads, 4x4in, 12-ply
• (1) PVP prep pad
• (1) Curaplex® ET tube, cuffed, 5.5mm without stylette

This flutter valve (heimlich valve) is used with pneumothorax aspiration catheters to assist in lung expansion. When connected to the catheter, this heimlich valve allows lung re-expansion and prevents inadvertent air backflow into the pleural space.

• For Pneumothorax Aspiration Catheters

Features:

• Packaged in double tear bag packaging
  • Meets FDA Packaging Requirements
• Fits easily in the airway bag
• Promotes infection control and waste management

Kits consist of:

• Cuffed Murphy Endo Tube
• Inflation Syringe 12cc
• Ear Loop Mask/Shield Combo
• #10 Scalpel
• Sponge Sterile 2's
• Icon Invasive Procedure Stabilizer
• PVP Prep Pad
• MSDS Sheet

• Necktape - for safe fixation, from soft foam material
• Safety clip - The plastic cannula is pushed forward until the safety clip clicks into position. The safety clip is firmly fixed at the connector and therefore avoids that the metal needle is pushed out of the cannula again by mistake
• Stopper - prevents the needle from being inserted too deep and therefore reduces the risk of posterior tracheal wall perforation
• Metal needle - specially grinded needle tip only cuts 2mm and dilates to 4mm (adult size), No scalpel incision necessary
• Cuff - allows sufficient ventilation with aspiration protection, cuff is made of ultra-thin material and is very robust
• Memory effect - After complete removall of the metal needle the anatomically shaped cannula adjusts to the trachea due to the memory effect
• The needle tip is covered by the plastic cannula and therefore does not cause injury to the posterior tracheal wall

• Catheter designed to have minimal risk of kinking.
• 14-Gauge for rapid venting.
• Depth markings printed on surface.
• Radio-opaque to be seen on X-ray imaging.
• Catheter tip holes to maximize drainage ability and minimize tip occlusion.
