SAM IO Kit

Rapid Vascular Access When IVs Fail

The SAM IO Kit gives rescuers a reliable method to obtain vascular access when peripheral IV placement is not possible. Designed for medics, tactical medics, paramedics and emergency clinicians, this device enables delivery of fluids, blood products and emergency medications through the bone marrow space. Because it is manually operated, the system works in austere environments where batteries and power sources are unavailable. Continuous, controlled trigger actuation produces rotational needle motion that eases bone entry while maintaining tactile feedback, helping clinicians confirm placement quickly and begin lifesaving interventions sooner.

Simple Driver, Precise Placement

This intraosseous system uses an ergonomic driver that is operated by repeated compressions of the trigger assembly, creating a controlled spin of the needle assembly for consistent penetration. The manual mechanism eliminates dependency on batteries, reducing downtime and logistic burdens. Once the needle is seated, the stylet is removed and the exposed standard Luer lock accepts extension sets or tubing for aspiration, flushing and medication delivery. Compact dimensions and intuitive operation let trained users maintain accuracy under stress, while the tactile feel during insertion supports confirmation without complex electronics.

Built to Withstand Field Conditions

Engineered with robust polycarbonate construction, the SAM IO Kit stands up to repeated handling in tactical, transport and pre hospital environments. The lightweight, compact driver measures L 5.5 in. x W 1 in. x H 4.25 in., and weighs just 2.5 oz, making it easy to stow in an IFAK, pack or vehicle kit. Durability is balanced with ergonomics, the driver shape reduces fatigue during multiple actuations, and the materials resist common contaminants and wear. The straightforward design minimizes maintenance while maximizing service life for teams operating far from supply chains.

Versatile Across Care Settings

This intraosseous access system adapts to a wide range of scenarios, from combat casualty care to urban EMS and hospital emergency departments. Its battery free operation makes it ideal for long missions, remote search and rescue, disaster response and prolonged transport. The device is suitable for adult and pediatric sized needle assemblies when used by trained clinicians, and supports rapid transition to standard IV style delivery via Luer lock connection. Teams can rely on consistent performance across environments, whether on the battlefield, roadside, aircraft or ambulance.
