PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Engineered for accuracy, SAM ThoraSite is an anatomical landmark guide, designed to provide a safer approach to the pleural space by pinpointing the procedure site. The device aids in identifying the appropriate intercostal space for lateral thoracostomies and similar procedures.
SAM ThoraSite is used when treating life threatening chest injuries, such as collapsed lungs and sucking chest wounds. In these emergency situations, providers often consume valuable time counting ribs. "In time sensitive situations there needs to be a simplified, efficient solution to identify the appropriate intercostal spaces," said Dr. Sam Scheinberg, Founder and CEO of SAM Medical. "ThoraSite was developed to address this problem, streamlining lateral thoracostomy procedures."
Designed to simplify the cognitive burden associated with thoracostomies, ThoraSite:
Reduces procedure time by quickly facilitating procedure site.
Increases likelihood of appropriate needle/tube placement.
Decreases iatrogenic injury.
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 a perpendicular 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.
