Description
The Rusun TacMed Decompression Needle (TPAK) is a professional-grade chest decompression kit designed for the immediate management of Tension Pneumothorax in pre-hospital and tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) environments.
This model (RT-TPK-148-BG) features an understated Black Cap with Gray Body color scheme — a low-profile, professional aesthetic ideal for operators who prefer subtle, non-flashy medical gear. The matte black cap includes an integrated pocket clip for direct attachment to pockets, plate carrier straps, or uniform fabric without requiring a dedicated pouch.
The smooth gray cylindrical body provides a clean, minimalist appearance while the pocket clip on the black cap enables rapid deployment — simply clip to your kit and pull when needed. The 14G needle utilizes a standard orange hub for gauge identification and includes a clear flash chamber for blood/air confirmation.
