Rocket® Pleural Vent™

• 8fg catheter mounted on 18g needle: designed to reduce the risk of accidental perforation.
• Pigtail catheter.
• Mounted aspiration syringe.

• Self contained one way valve and vent: prevents air and fluid from returning to the pleural space, whilst allowing air to escape the unit, but keeping fluid contained ready for safe drainage.

• Indication diaphragm: the blue signal diaphragm deflects upwards when the catheter tip enters the pleural space. It then continues to fluctuate with respiration as the intra-pleural pressure varies from > +2mm hg to <-2mm hg. When the signal diaphragm stays in the down position and the patient is asymptomatic the pneumothorax may be resolved.

Hydrocolloid fixation device:

• reduces risk of accidental displacement of catheter.
• Safe anchoring and protection of catheter for up to one week.
• Reduces catheter movement and consequent enlargement of puncture site
• Enables the patient to shower with catheter inserted.

• Positive pressure release valve: to allow drainage of pneumothorax if one way valve and vent become compromised.
• Needleless port: to allow drainage of collected fluid.
• CE marked, purpose designed device: designed specifically for purpose.
