Intraosseous access: buy everything for the procedure here
Intraosseous access is a medical procedure in which a special needle is inserted directly into the bone marrow to provide rapid access to the circulatory system. Intraosseous injection is used in emergency situations when intravenous access is difficult or impossible, for example, in shock, cardiac arrest, severe burns, or in young children with poorly expressed veins.
The importance of intraosseous access in emergency and tactical medicine is difficult to overestimate, since any fluids, drugs, and blood products that are usually administered intravenously can also be administered intraosseously. Due to the rich vascularization of the bone marrow, the administered substances quickly enter the central bloodstream. With us you can buy intraosseous access to always be able to provide medical care in the following situations:
- The patient's critical condition. In shock, cardiac arrest, severe dehydration, major burns, or convulsive syndrome, when peripheral veins may be difficult to access, intraosseous access allows for rapid delivery of necessary drugs to stabilize the patient.
- Inability to obtain intravenous access. If attempts to establish an intravenous catheter are unsuccessful or take too long, intraosseous injection is a life-saving alternative.
- Pediatrics. When providing care to young children, intraosseous access may be the preferred method due to the poorly expressed veins in the child.
- Tactical medicine. In conditions of limited resources and increased danger on the battlefield, the presence of an intraosseous access kit significantly increases the chances of survival. Rapid access to the vascular system of the wounded for infusion of drugs and blood products is a matter of life and death. Intraosseous access avoids the search for and catheterization of difficult-to-reach veins, which saves precious seconds. Intraosseous injection is also standard in cardiopulmonary resuscitation in cardiac arrest.
The best intraosseous access systems
The topic of intraosseous injection for rapid delivery of solutions into the bloodstream has been developed since 1922. Over the past hundred years, many intraosseous access devices have been created that use different principles of penetration through the cortical layer of bone. For example, in Israel in 2000, a spring mechanism began to be used that shoots a needle into the bone. In 2004, a battery-powered mechanism appeared that screws a needle with a drill tip into the bone. This option turned out to be better because the diameter of the entrance hole exactly matches the diameter of the needle, which prevents extravasation (spread of the injected solution into the subcutaneous tissue). In addition, the needle with a drill tip can be inserted with high precision to the desired depth. The only drawback of such a system is that if the battery charge drops, the electric drive will not work.
To avoid problems with batteries, SAM specialists have created and patented a compact intraosseous access device with a manual drive. If you are planning to buy intraosseous access, the SAM IO manual driver is the best choice.
Why is it worth buying intraosseous access of this particular brand:
- the operation of the device does not depend on the battery charge;
- the ergonomic design of the manual driver ensures correct application thanks to the operator's tactile sensations;
- the intraosseous access system rotates a needle of special geometry thanks to hand effort. The spring-loaded lever returns to its original position after each press;
- The SAM IO intraosseous access set includes: a driver, 15, 25 and 45 mm needles, a stabilizer and an adapter.
In the Rhythm online store, you can buy intraosseous access as a set or in parts. We offer needles of different sizes, a mechanical driver for screwing needles into the bone, and a special bag for convenient transportation of the intraosseous access set.
