Pneumothorax Access Kit

Pneumothorax Access Kit

The Pneumothorax Access Kit, commonly referred to as a Decompression Needle, is a field-ready solution for managing life-threatening tension pneumothorax. This sterile kit features a high-gauge, large-bore catheter needle designed to penetrate the chest wall quickly and safely in emergent thoracic decompression scenarios. The beveled stainless-steel needle ensures minimal resistance, while the included catheter maintains airway patency once inserted.

Each needle comes individually packaged in sterile conditions, preventing contamination in austere environments. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for storage in IFAKs, trauma kits, or medical pouches. The needle length is suitable for adult chest decompression, helping mitigate risks of misplacement while maximizing the effectiveness of air release. A color-coded hub allows for rapid visual identification under pressure.

The Pneumothorax Access Kit is essential for combat medics, tactical teams, EMS providers, and wilderness rescue personnel. It is deployed during high-risk situations where immediate chest decompression is required due to collapsed lung or air buildup from trauma. Quick deployment can restore breathing dynamics and stabilize a casualty for further evacuation.

Trusted for both reliability and sterility, this device is part of the critical inventory maintained by Tactical Supply Pakistan. Every unit is sealed, clearly labeled, and meets the medical field’s operational standards. It is an indispensable component in advanced trauma management when seconds matter most.

Is training required to use the Kit?
Yes. While the device is straightforward, it must only be used by trained medical professionals or first responders familiar with needle thoracostomy protocols. Improper use can cause harm or worsen injuries.
