SAM® THORASITE TS200-1P

The SAM® THORASITE TS200-1P is a high-performance vented chest seal engineered for the emergency treatment of open and tension pneumothorax in traumatic chest injuries. Designed for use by EMS, military, and tactical medical professionals, this chest seal provides rapid, reliable wound occlusion while allowing excess air to escape from the pleural cavity.

Featuring an advanced multi-channel vent system, the THORASITE helps prevent air buildup without the need for manual intervention. Its aggressive adhesive is designed to adhere securely to wet, bloody, hairy, or sweaty skin, ensuring dependable performance in real-world trauma environments.

Compact, lightweight, and easy to deploy, the SAM® THORASITE TS200-1P is an essential component of trauma kits, IFAKs, and emergency medical response equipment.

DEVICE TECHNOLOGY

ThoraSite is an anatomical landmark guide, designed to provide a safer approach to the pleural space by pinpointing the procedure site.!2 The device aids in identifying the appropriate intercostal space for lateral thoracostomies and similar procedures. ThoraSite is non-sterile and intended to be single use.

SAFE ZONE WINDOW PRINCIPLE

ThoraSite's patented design references the patient's own anatomical landmarks to position the Safe Zone Window directly over the ideal procedure site. The principal utilizes two axes to create an intersection to safely orient the device.

The first axis positions ThoraSite accurately between the anterior axillary and midaxillary line, while the second axis aligns the window over the 3rd, 4th, or 5th intercostal space. This easily guides the user over the appropriate site to vent.

ENGINEERED FOR ACCURACY

• SAFE ZONE WINDOW
  Highlighted alignment area safely guides user to the appropriate procedure site.
  AXILLA HOOK
  Developed to be inserted into the patient's axilla for device alignment between the anterior axillary line (AAL) and the midaxillary line (MAL).
• ALIGNMENT ARROW
  Designed to align the device with the patient's anterior iliac crest/hip.
• PERFORATED RELEASE
  Created for quick removal when discarding to minimize interference with other devices or procedures.
