The Russell PneumoFix®-8 is a sterile decompression needle featuring a veress-tipped needle inserted through an 8cm catheter with a low-pressure release valve. The veress tip and indicator device ensure safe insertion with minimal risk of lung injury, while the low-pressure release valve allows for the release of tension pneumothorax with minimal risk of air re-entry.
The Russell PneumoFix®-8 consists of a stainless steel veress-tipped needle and a Tecoflex Polyurethane catheter. The catheter is infused with 20% barium sulphate, making it visible on X-ray.
A syringe can be connected to the female luer connector of the veress needle. The device is provided sterile, features graduated markings, and includes an X-ray detectable catheter for precise depth recording and accurate localization in a hospital setting. The 14-gauge catheter allows for rapid air venting in cases of tension pneumothorax.
