Used to treat spontaneous and tension pneumothorax
The catheter is introduced with a one-stick trocar technique
The Intro-Tip facilitates placement of the catheter and helps prevent the catheter from accordioning back over the trocar needle assembly when it encounters resistance during insertion
The hydrophilic coating on the distal 10 cm of the catheter
when activated
becomes very lubricious
reducing friction during catheter insertion
The connecting tube can be connected to a suction apparatus or to the Heimlich chest drain valve that is included in the set
