Confirm decompression of a tension pneumothorax in seconds—visually. The N.I.K™ pairs a 10 ga × 3.25″ needle with the Capnospot® Colorimetric CO₂ Indicator and a built‑in one‑way valve. When pleural CO₂ reaches the device, the indicator flips from blue to yellow, giving an immediate, objective “yes/no” confirmation of the existence of tension physiology and confirmation of needle placement—ideal for noisy, low‑light prehospital environments. Lightweight, compact, and assembled in the USA.
