SAM Medical IO Intraosseous Needle (25 mm)
The SAM Medical IO Needle 25 mm is a professional medical device designed to provide rapid and secure access to the circulatory system via the bone marrow. In critical situations where peripheral venous access is difficult or impossible—such as shock, cardiac arrest, or massive hemorrhage—the SAM IO system serves as a life-saving "gold standard."
Key Features & Purpose
The device consists of a sterile stylet and catheter assembly secured by a locking connection. Its unique design allows for vascular access in less than 10 seconds, which is crucial in emergency medicine.
Application Guidelines
The 25 mm length is versatile and suitable for a wide demographic range:
-
Pediatrics (from 3 kg): Infants and young children.
-
Adults: Patients with a lean build or for insertion into areas with minimal soft tissue thickness (e.g., distal tibia).
Anatomical Insertion Sites:
-
Adults: Proximal humerus, proximal tibia, and distal tibia.
-
Pediatrics: Proximal humerus, proximal tibia, distal tibia, and distal femur.
SAM IO System Technological Advantages
-
Five-Sided Sharpening: The specialized needle tip geometry ensures smooth and rapid bone penetration with minimal force.
-
Manual Control & Precision: The system operates via repeated trigger actuation of the SAM IO Driver, creating a rotational motion. This gives the clinician total control over the depth and speed of insertion.
-
Radiopacity: The needle is clearly visible under X-ray and CT scans, allowing for immediate confirmation of correct placement.
-
Standard Luer-Lock: Removing the stylet reveals a standard Luer-lock connection for easy integration with extension sets and infusion lines.
Package Contents
Each needle is supplied in a hermetically sealed package, ensuring 100% sterility and immediate readiness. The kit includes:
-
SAM IO Needle & Catheter (25 mm)
-
Extension Tubing for convenient connection to infusion systems.
