Sam® ThoraSite®

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. The principle 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 aligns the window over the 3rd, 4th, or 5th intercostal space. This easily guides the user over the appropriate site to vent.
ThoraSite is non-sterile and intended to be single use.
