The Russell PneumoFix® is a sterile chest decompression device designed for the management of tension pneumothorax, simple pneumothorax.

The Russell PneumoFix®-8 is a sterile decompression needle composed of a veress-tipped needle inserted through an 8cm catheter, with a low-pressure release valve. The veress tip and indicator device assist with the safe insertion with a minimal risk of injuring the underlying lung, whilst the low-pressure release valve permits the release of tension pneumothorax with minimal potential of subsequent air re-entry. The Russell PneumoFix®-8 has been designed by examining the clinical evidence available and addressing the deficiencies of the products and or methods currently used. The Russell PneumoFix®-8 is composed of a stainless steel veress-tipped needle with a Teco􀃸ex Polyurethane catheter. The catheter contains barium sulphate (20%) which enables the catheter to be visible during X-ray.

Available in two size 8 cm and 11 cm
