North American Rescue's patented ARS Needle Decompression Kits are designed to provide the appropriate length needle/catheter to penetrate the pleural space in 99% of patients. With its built-in failsafe characteristics, the ARS improves the probability of success when treating casualties who present with signs and symptoms of a tension pneumothorax.

Now also available with the same quality and reliability as the current 14 gauge version, the new 10 gauge ARS provides the option of a needle/catheter that is approximately 60% larger in diameter for those customers looking for a larger gauge needle/catheter. The brown color-coded sterilization band and the catheter hub help to distinguish it from the original 14 gauge version, which is orange.
