The Rocket Seldinger Chest Drainage Kit is for percutaneous insertion of a chest tube for pleural drainage of fluid and air and is particularly suitable for:

• Pneumothorax, spontaneous or iatrogenic
• Effusions, benign or malignant, except those with high protein content.
• Low viscosity empyema.

In response to concerns and advice from British Thoracic Society members, the Rocket Seldinger Chest Drainage Set now contains shorter (10cm) dilators.

To enhance safety further, Rocket have developed a new set with removable Safety Guards to prevent the over-insertion risk associated with the common 20cm dilator.

Our latest Rocket Seldinger Ward Procedure Tray is a complete procedure pack for ward insertion including drapes and a gown in response to the BTS reply to the NPSA report NPSA/2008/RRR3
