This work with TyTek Medical resulted in the creation of the PneumoDart. Based on a patented design, the PneumoDart consists of a hollow, closed-end stylet, spring-loaded safety tip housing a 14 gauge interior diameter catheter that is 8.6cm in length. The needle housing comes color indicator showing when the safety tip retracts, the PneumoDart is designed to stay in place. The cap is also a luer connector to allow for the rapid removal of air using a manual suction device (e.g. syringe) or the clearing of fluids from the needle (not recommended for use with a hemothorax). The TyTek PneumoDart was designed to overcome the shortfalls of the flexible catheter. The catheter was never designed for this purpose and as an IV catheter, it is designed to become soft and pliable in the body.
