Fast, Effective, and Easy # Know You Are in with Capnospot® ## A Revolutionary Treatment Developed to Save Lives The Capnospot® Pneumothorax Decompression Indicator is transforming the standard of care in needle decompression from “a gush of air” to a straightforward color change. ![Prior to Decompression](https://pneumeric-medical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/squarespace/Prior+to+Decompression.jpg?width=659&height=483&name=Prior+to+Decompression.jpg) ![Therapeutic Confirmation](https://pneumeric-medical.com/hs-fs/hubfs/squarespace/Therapeutic+Confirmation.jpg?width=654&height=480&name=Therapeutic+Confirmation.jpg) Capnospot is a small, lightweight, portable device designed to affix on the distal end of any commercially available needle used for decompression. Capnospot lets you know you're in using objective, visual confirmation.

It is small, lightweight, compact, and functions in low-light environments. Capnospot is equally well suited for EMS, paramedic, military and ER/trauma settings. ## Trusted by Professionals “The Capnospot color change technology took the guesswork out of needle placement and assured us the procedure remained therapeutic during the last needle thoracostomy I performed. We’ve needed this device for a long time.” — A.
