Veress Needle Interface for Tension Pneumothorax Decompression

Inventors at the University of Arizona have designed an interface for the modified Veress needle (mVN) to address the shortcomings of older devices used to treat tension pneumothorax such as traditional Needle Thoracostomy (NT). This interface serves as an attachment that adds additional functionality to the standard Veress needle. Equipped with a manual...

Modified Veress Needle for Tension Pneumothorax Decompression

Inventors at the University of Arizona have developed a Modified Veress Needle (mVN) that has several design and functional advantages compared to the 14-gauge needle thoracostomy (NT) for treating tension pneumothorax (tPTX), including an indicator element to know the position of the needle. The inventors demonstrated the effectiveness of their design...
