{"product_id":"tpak-needle-decompression-needle","title":"TPAK Needle Decompression Needle, 10 and 14 Gauge","description":"\u003cp\u003eTPAK is a compact needle decompression device built for tension pneumothorax in the field. At 3.25 inches it is long enough to reach the pleural space through adult chest wall thickness, which is the single most common reason field decompression attempts fail. It deploys quickly and packs small enough to carry in an individual aid kit rather than only in the truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy it fits your program\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTension pneumothorax is a preventable cause of death in penetrating and blunt chest trauma, and the intervention is mechanically simple. What makes it fail is equipment: a needle too short to reach, or one buried so deep in a bag it never gets found. TPAK addresses both. It is standard carry for tactical medics, military units, and any service with a meaningful penetrating trauma call volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne TPAK needle decompression device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 10 gauge or 14 gauge, both 3.25 inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterile, single patient use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauges available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 gauge (TM-303), 14 gauge (TM-310)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.25 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact, rapidly deployable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeedle decompression of suspected tension pneumothorax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSAM Medical Products\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTPAK is a standalone decompression needle and requires no driver or accessory. It sits naturally alongside SAM Chest Seal for treating the open chest wound and SAM ThoraSite for identifying the correct anatomical landmark before insertion. Many trauma kits carry all three together, since the same patient often needs the seal and the decompression. Choose gauge according to your medical director protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProgram context\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeedle decompression is a protocol-driven skill under medical direction, so confirm scope of practice before adding it to a kit. Track expiration dates with the rest of your sterile trauma consumables on one monthly inspection pass, and place TPAK in the same pouch as chest seals so a chest trauma response pulls one item rather than three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from AED Professionals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthorized SAM Medical distributor since 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice-match guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping on orders over $99\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall 888-541-2337 to build a chest trauma response kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SAM Medical","offers":[{"title":"10 Gauge x 3.25 in","offer_id":50063887958266,"sku":"TM-303","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 Gauge x 3.25 in","offer_id":50063887991034,"sku":"TM-310","price":13.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/4904\/6010\/files\/sam-medical-logo_1.webp?v=1786565367","url":"https:\/\/aedprofessionals.com\/es\/products\/tpak-needle-decompression-needle","provider":"AED Professionals - Authorized AED Dealer - Zoll, Philips, Cardiac Science, Stryker AED Pads \u0026 Batteries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
