TPAK Chest Decompression Needle 14g x 3.25

The TyTek Medical 14g TPAK Chest Decompression Needle is a specialised, high-quality tool designed for treating tension pneumothorax. At 3.25 inches, this needle is the recommended length for deep penetration, ensuring effective needle thoracostomy. Unlike standard IV catheters, which are often too short for this purpose, the TPAK needle provides the necessary depth to secure continuous relief during chest decompression.

Constructed with a rugged, shock-resistant case, the TPAK needle ensures secure storage and deployment. The capless flash chamber provides instant confirmation of proper needle placement, which is critical in pre-hospital settings where time and accuracy are of the essence.
