SPEAR® (Simplified Pneumothorax Emergency Air Release) Device
The SPEAR® Device is an innovative solution designed to address tension pneumothorax, a leading cause of preventable death in trauma situations. Developed based on scientific research and user feedback, this device offers enhanced features to improve user experience and increase the probability of successful intervention when every second counts.
Key enhancements include a sharper needle point that reduces the force required for insertion, a spin-lock mechanism to prevent premature separation of the needle and catheter, and centimeter depth markings for precise placement. The detachable low-pressure one-way valve emits an audible whistle as air escapes, providing immediate confirmation of successful decompression. Additionally, the flexible, kink-resistant catheter with a soft tip and three fenestrations along its length ensures efficient air release while minimizing tissue impact.
