The HALO Decompression Needle is a specialized catheter designed for the relief of a tension pneumothorax. The 83 mm long needle, featuring a triple-bevel tip, helps minimize trauma at the insertion site, while the catheter is constructed from rigid PTFE material, ensuring that the passage remains open. The size can be quickly and easily identified via a color code located at the catheter hub (matching the label). The needle is packaged in a robust plastic tube that ensures sterility and protects the needle until use.
