NAR Saline Lock Kit

Secure IVs Under Stress

Designed for medics, corpsmen, and tactical operators, the Saline Lock Kit Combat Medicine delivers fast, reliable extremity venous cannulation in unstable, austere, or mass casualty environments. The kit addresses the common problem of dislodged IVs during casualty movement and transport, by enabling a secure saline lock placement that holds through evacuation. It is featured in PHTLS 6th Edition, and meets the requirements of U.S. ARMY TASK 081-831-1011 for establishing a saline lock. Lightweight and efficient, this kit reduces time to secure IV access, improves patient stability, and lowers the risk of line failure under operational conditions.

Compact Vacuum Sealed Packaging

The kit arrives vacuum sealed in a rugged pouch sized for easy carry and rapid access, making it ideal for individual first aid kits and vehicle medical packs. The compact packaged dimensions are approximately 5.5 in by 3.25 in by 1 in, and the kit weighs roughly 1.3 oz, keeping load minimal while maximizing capability. Vacuum sealing preserves sterility and reduces bulk, while the rugged pouch stands up to rigors of field use. The layout supports one handed retrieval and use, helping responders maintain situational awareness during insertion and securing of the saline lock.

Stabilization with Proven Securing Device

This saline lock system includes a reliable Raptor IV securing device to anchor the lock without relying on bulky tape, addressing the frequent issue of lines loosening during movement. The securing device has a track record in field operations, and integrates with the kit to minimize line movement and prevent infiltration. The kit now also includes a latex free IV constricting band and a clear adhesive dressing to assist with both vascular access and dressing security. Together, these elements offer a practical, repeatable method to maintain patency of peripheral IV access during extended evacuations.

Built for Operational Durability

Constructed with field ready materials and packed for rugged transport, the Saline Lock Kit Combat Medicine meets expectations for military and tactical medical kits. Components are selected for durability and compatibility with common training and operational protocols, while the vacuum sealing protects sterile items until use. The kit’s small footprint allows it to fit into pockets, pouches, and trauma packs without adding significant weight. Quality and performance are validated by inclusion in industry standard references and compliance with the specified army task for saline lock establishment, supporting confidence in real world missions.
