DEVICE TECHNOLOGY
ThoraSite is an anatomical landmark guide, designed to provide a safer approach to the pleural space by pinpointing the procedure site.1, 2 The device aids in identifying the appropriate intercostal space for lateral thoracotomies and similar procedures. ThoraSite is non-sterile and intended to be single-use.
SAFE ZONE WINDOW PRINCIPLE
ThoraSite’s patented design references the patient’s own anatomical landmarks to position the Safe Zone Window directly over the ideal procedure site. The principal utilizes two axes to create an intersection to safely orient the device. The first axis positions ThoraSite accurately between the anterior axillary and midaxillary line, while the second axis aligns the window over the 3rd, 4th, or 5th intercostal space. This easily guides the user over to the appropriate site to vent.
