The first complete kit for the rapid treatment of tension pneumothorax using a standard over-the-needle catheter technique. The kit includes an 8.5FR 7.5cm long Access Plus needle which features a reinforced catheter that will resist collapsing when the stylet is removed. Also included is a large alcohol prep and povidone-iodine swab for cleaning and preparing the chest wall for insertion. The Molnar disc and short roll of Transpore tape aid in securing the Access Plus catheter, and the 2-way stop cock and Heimlich valve ensure a positive one-way air seal. For those who prefer to use a syringe during insertion, a 10cc slip tip syringe is also included. Assembled in a compact sterile package, the Needle Decompression Kit is easy to store and is immediately available.
