Description
For over two years, H&H Medical worked on an improved method for performing a needle decompression. This work with TyTek Medical resulted in the creation of the PneumoDart. Based on a patented design, the PneumoDart consists of a hollow, closed-end stylet, spring-loaded safety tip housing a 14 gauge interior diameter catheter that is 8.6cm in length.
The needle housing comes color indicator showing when the safety tip retracts, the PneumoDart is designed to stay in place. The cap is also a luer connector to allow for the rapid removal of air using a manual suction device (e.g. syringe) or the clearing of fluids from the needle (not recommended for use with a hemothorax).
The PneumoDart is a reliable solution for treating a tension pneumothorax injury. Our needle is 3.25” which is the optimal length as recommended by the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) who inspired the PneumoDart and we developed it with the US Department of Defense during a robust testing and evaluation phase. TyTek Medical’s innovation helps you to get it right, first time, where successful decompression with traditional decompression needles can prove difficult. It offers efficiency, safety and important physical features.
