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-B) features an innovative pen-style protective case with an integrated pocket clip, designed to resemble a standard writing pen for discreet carry and rapid one-handed deployment. The case is available in two tactical color combinations: Wood/Tan (Olive body with Tan cap) and Blue (Olive body with Blue cap).
The needle assembly is exceptionally advanced, featuring:
- Extensive Depth Markers: The catheter includes numbered graduation markings (1-9+ cm) with alternating black stripes, allowing precise depth control during insertion.
- Threaded Luer-Lock Hub: The clear flash chamber features a threaded luer-lock connector for secure attachment to syringes or extension tubing if needed.
- Olive/Tan Hub: The hub section uses a tactical olive/tan color scheme, reinforcing the military-grade design.

The Rusun TacMed Decompression Needle is primarily indicated for use by trained medical personnel for the relief of Tension Pneumothorax.
Primary Use Cases:
- Undercover / Plainclothes Operators: Pen-style design allows carry in shirt pockets without drawing attention.
- Combat Medics: Precise depth markers assist in controlled insertion, especially important for patients with varying chest wall thickness.
- Advanced Procedures: Luer-lock hub allows connection to syringe for aspiration confirmation or to extension tubing for continued drainage.
Mechanism of Action: Insertion into the pleural space allows trapped air to escape, reducing intrathoracic pressure and restoring venous return. Depth markers help operators gauge insertion depth in real-time.
