A rugged chest decompression needle meant for field use. In an environment where human lives are at stake, the kit has to be top quality.
"Wait a second, aren't these for medical professionals only?"
You're quite correct! Poking a needle into someone's chest incorrectly (or for the wrong reason) could kill them. Please don't watch online videos and think you're a combat medic. You're not. Carrying one in your IFAK still makes sense: If you are wounded and have medical assistance from a qualified person, they will find the necessary items on you.
TyTek Medical’s 14 gauge TPAK chest decompression needle is in the recommended 3.25" length for treating a tension pneumothorax. You can't count on a standard IV catheter to needle a chest deeply enough in needle thoracostomy. Our 14 gauge x 3.25" TPAK chest decompression needle is a compact, reliable solution for treating a tension pneumothorax. The shock-resistant case ensures the needle/catheter is secure upon deployment, and the capless flash chamber gives instant confirmation of needle placement in prehospital needle thoracostomy. TPAK comes in a rugged case, with a textured, easy-open hex cap.
