Description
PneumoDart is a purpose-built needle decompression device for suspected tension pneumothorax. It combines a 3.25 inch working length, enough to clear adult chest wall thickness, with a safety tip that reduces the risk of injuring lung tissue once the pleural space is reached. The result is a device designed around the two things that go wrong in field decompression: not getting deep enough, and going too far.
Why it fits your program
Standard IV catheters get pressed into service for decompression all the time, and they are frequently too short and offer no protection past the pleura. For services that want a dedicated device rather than an improvised one, PneumoDart is the straightforward upgrade. It suits ALS ground units, flight programs, tactical medical teams, and industrial response teams operating far from a trauma center.

Compatibility
PneumoDart is a standalone device with no driver or adaptor required. It complements SAM ThoraSite, which marks the anatomical landmark before insertion, and SAM Chest Seal for the associated open chest wound. Where TPAK offers a 10 gauge option for services whose protocols call for a larger bore, PneumoDart is the 14 gauge choice with the added safety tip.
Program context
Confirm scope of practice and medical direction before stocking decompression devices. Place PneumoDart in the chest trauma pouch with your chest seals and landmark guide so one reach covers the whole intervention, and roll expiration checks into the monthly inspection you already run on AED pads, batteries, and hemostatic dressings.
