NAR ARS Needle Decompression Kit 10ga x 3.25″

Description The NAR ARS Needle Kit (Air Release System Needle Decompression Kit) or TPN (Tension Pneumothorax Needle) is specially designed for first aid in case of tension pneumothorax at the prehospital stage. The ARS Needle kit is supplied in a special compact case, which, due to its design, is not only convenient for transportation and storage, but also ensures the sterility of the contents. Inside the case there is a needle and catheter with a length of 8.25 cm, which meets the recommendations of the International Committee of the TCCS for use on the battlefield. The length of the needle and the versatility of the design allow the ARS Needle Kit to be used in adult victims with different body types. After insertion of the needle with the catheter, the needle itself is removed, leaving the catheter in the pleural cavity. In turn, the catheter has an open entrance, allowing it to be immobilized in the chest and to control the progress of the manipulation. The NAR ARS Needle Decompression Kit 10ga x 3.25″ is in service in the standard first aid kits of the U.S. Army. Warning: The decompression needle may only be used by persons with medical education or specialized training! Improper use of the ARS Needle Kit may cause injury and deterioration of the victim’s condition! Instructions for use: Before use, make sure that the protective seal on the end of the case is intact. If the seal is broken and the decompression needle has been used before, do not use this kit. Open the case by rotating the cap and remove the needle and catheter from the case. Determine the insertion point of the ARS Needle. The decompression needle should be inserted into the injured half of the chest, intercostal space between the 2nd and 3rd ribs, along the upper edge of the 3rd rib, projecting vertically from the nipple towards the clavicle. Disinfect the injection site. Place the needle at a 90-degree angle to the chest and begin to gently insert the needle until it stops. Remove the needle, leaving the catheter in, and secure the catheter.
