SAM ThoraSite
The SAM ThoraSite assists rapid lateral thoracostomies with precise guidance. Measuring 5.6 × 2.7 × 0.04 in (141 × 69 × 1 mm) and weighing just 0.18 oz (5.1 g), it is made from radiolucent, weather-resistant plastic. The device bends slightly to fit patient anatomy while maintaining the alignment window’s integrity. Its bilateral design supports use on either the left or right chest.
The ThoraSite includes a Safety Zone Window highlighted to guide placement over the 3rd–5th intercostal space. An Axilla Hook fits into the patient’s armpit to align the anterior axillary line (AAL) with the mid-axillary line (MAL). Additionally, an alignment arrow rests on the iliac crest for perpendicular orientation. A perforated quick-release tab allows fast removal after positioning, reducing interference during the procedure.
Military medics, EMS teams, and trauma professionals rely on the SAM ThoraSite to speed access to the pleural space in cases of collapsed lungs or sucking chest wounds. By pinpointing the correct rib space, it shortens procedure time and lowers the risk of injury. Moreover, in field conditions, it consistently locates the 3rd–5th ICS along the AAL–MAL axis, improving accuracy by 96% in cadaver studies.
Tactical Supply Pakistan earns the trust of Pakistan’s defense forces by delivering reliable, field-tested equipment that meets the demanding conditions faced by the Army, Navy, and Air Force across all terrains.
Can this ThoraSite be used in low-light or nighttime conditions?
Yes. The design features high-contrast markings that make aligning anatomical landmarks easier even in reduced visibility.
