Decompression & Cric

For the upgraded ARS® for Needle Decompression from North American Rescue, the best minds in the field were applied to the best available data. The result? Our patented design improves the probability of success when managing casualties who present with signs and symptoms of a tension pneumothorax. To achieve this end, we participated in a two-year collaboration with pre-hospital providers. We continuously analyzed data obtained from ongoing combat operations for patients whose symptoms suggested a collapsed lung (difficulty in breathing, chest drains, etc.). We applied the Analytical Thinking, Evidence-based Medicine and Human Factors engineering model to identify inherent survival stress behaviors. Then, North American Rescue went one step further. We incorporated failsafe characteristics into the product design. For example, an easy-open container protects the needle from damage during deployment. Also, we removed the flash cap from the needle system to allow immediate confirmation of placement. Features: * Strong, reliable needle/catheter: 14 gauge x 3.25 in. * Rugged needle/catheter protective tube * Easy ID textured twist top with handy clip * Easy-open container for quick access * Capless flash chamber for immediate confirmation of needle placement * Convenient, compact size * Packaged: L 5.7 in. x W 0.7 in. x 0.8 in. * Needle Size: 14 gauge x 3.25 in. * Weight: 0.6 oz

Thin cuff seals trachea and allows efficient ventilation with aspiration protection. Stopper and safety clip reduce the risk of posterior tracheal wall injury. Anatomically shaped cannula adjusts to the trachea due to "memory effect".* 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

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.

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

* 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 KE566034

The Russell PneumoFix®-8 is a sterile decompression needle designed for the removal of fluid from the pleural cavity by appropriately trained medical professionals. Features: * Veress tip and indicator device to assist safe insertion with minimal risk of injuring underlying lung. * Low pressure release valve to permit release of tension pneumothorax, with minimal potential of subsequent air re-entry. * 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.

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
