Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) with Lubricant – This is a nonsterile, rubber tube-shaped device that is inserted into the casualty’s nostril. It acts as a wedge to keep the airway open by keeping the tongue from falling back into the space behind the mouth leading to the windpipe. Only a 32 French NPA is found within standard-issue JFAKs, sizing the NPA before insertion is not necessary. The lubricant is a water-based substance that assists in device insertion into the nose.

Chest Seal – This vented (preferred) self-adhering chest seal is used for treating sucking chest wound/open pneumothorax.

Catheter-over-needle Device – This 10- to 14-gauge 3¼” catheter-over-needle device is used to treat tension pneumothorax.
