144 devices · GMDN 47200

A pneumothorax catheter insertion set is a sterile, single-use toolkit designed for emergency medical use to drain air or fluid from the chest cavity in cases of pneumothorax. It includes a scalpel for creating a small incision, a protective needle, and a catheter with an obturator to safely access the chest wall while minimizing risk to internal organs.

These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical instruments, often classified under emergency trauma or chest drainage systems. They are supplied pre-sterilized and intended for one-time use in critical care settings, such as accident and emergency departments or pre-hospital trauma scenarios.
