Capnospot® Tension Pneumothorax Decompression Indicator

The Capnospot® Tension Pneumothorax Decompression Indicator is designed to affix on the distal end of any needle used for decompression.   

As pneumothorax gas flows through the needle and Capnospot device, dark blue colorimetric paper turns bright yellow in seconds as it comes in contact with CO2.  

The device also allows for dynamic evaluation of placement, since it will change color in case of displacement or occlusion of the chest catheter.
