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-BR) features a striking Black Cap with Red Body color scheme — a premium tactical aesthetic that combines high visibility red with low-profile black for a professional, recognizable appearance. The matte black cap includes embossed text (“Needle for Chest Decompression”) for quick product identification without the need to read small labels.
The red body features vertical ribbed grooves for enhanced grip, while a distinctive gold/yellow sterile indicator band (marked “STERILE”) sits at the junction between cap and body, providing instant visual confirmation of product integrity. The 14G needle utilizes a standard orange hub for gauge identification and includes a clear flash chamber for blood/air confirmation.
