The Safeguard Difference: The Veress tip, graduated markings, kink-resistant catheter, and low-pressure release valve make the PneumoFix® the gold standard in decompression needles.
The Russell PneumoFix family of devices are designed in partnership with clinicians with one goal: To solve for the failures of traditional devices and ultimately increase the patient’s chance of survival.
PneumoFix devices are sterile decompression needles comprised of a Veress-tipped needle inserted through an 8cm catheter, with a one-way low-pressure release valve. The Veress tip and indicator assist with safer insertion to minimize risk of injuring the underlying lung, while the low-pressure release valve permits the release of fluid to relieve tension pneumothorax with minimal potential of subsequent air re-entry.
The Pneumofix devices’ indications for use slightly differ based on market: CE MDD versus US FDA. Please consult product enclosures or ask your sales representative for clarification.
