The NIK combines the MedSource Labs Decompression Needle and the Capnospot® from Pneumeric™ into one convenient package for the treatment of tension pneumothorax.
The MedSource Labs Decompression Needle is a deep-reaching catheter designed to release pressure in the pleural cavity. The Capnospot® is a one-of-a-kind visual indicator that provides confirmation of successful decompression. The Capnospot® attaches to the Decompression Needle with a standard luer fitting.
