oddly hard to find these days
fresh out of the factory as indicated by its expiration date, which lasts until 2025
probably* never ever going to use it
It's a decompression needle
Like any other decompression needle it was the correct gauge, and once necessary I will use it. I recommend it for when your body or someone else's has some trouble breathing. Just jab it in him in his lungs and that should let out all the pressure that's built up guaranteed. Joking aside, It's a useful tool for fluid buildup in the lungs and around the outside, specifically blood. It might help with a collapsed lung, but I haven't tried that or had that happen anytime around me, and it's not what it was built for.
Get one even if you don't know how to use it. Learn how to use it. Even if you've never used it real world out side of practice there could be a situation someone needs one jab in their lungs, and there is a medic around that needs that tool. You can help provide it.
It's what you need and hope you don't need it
Hope I don't need to use it
Exactly what I ordered
Not expired, matches current standard for gauge of needle. Haven't tried it yet and I hope I never need to.
Great!
High quality, light, one of essential parts of any medical pack.
