PRODUCT INFORMATION

SAM Medical · Intraosseous Needle

SAM IO Driver Needles

Sterile, single-use 15-gauge intraosseous needle assemblies for the SAM IO system, in 15 mm, 25 mm and 45 mm lengths. Each colour-coded needle uses a patented 5-point grind tip and a snap-fit stylet-and-catheter design, and ships with a NeedleVISE® sharps containment block and an extension tube. Compatible with the SAM IO Driver only.

The driver is durable equipment; the needle is the consumable that decides whether access happens — stock the lengths your sites and your patient population actually require.

What's Included

Three lengths, each a separate SKU with its own colour-coded hub. Tap the length you are ordering.

SAM IO Driver Needles — specifications

Specification	Detail
Manufacturer	SAM Medical
SKUs	MEDTAC1056 — 15 mm · MEDTAC1057 — 25 mm · MEDTAC1058 — 45 mm
Gauge	15 gauge, all lengths
Available lengths	15 mm (pink / white hub) · 25 mm (blue hub) · 45 mm (yellow hub)
Tip geometry	Patented 5-point grind for cortical bone penetration
Assembly	Snap-fit stylet and catheter — the snap-fit holds the stylet in position during insertion and prevents premature separation
Connection	Standard Luer-lock port on the catheter once the stylet is withdrawn; SAM Medical publishes the SAM IO Adaptor as MEDTAC1061
Included per package	NeedleVISE® sharps containment block and an extension tube
Sterility	Sterile, single-use, individually packaged
Pack quantity	SAM Medical publishes a single needle and a 5-pack per length. This listing exposes only Size as an option and does not state pack quantity — confirm before ordering.
Compatible driver	SAM IO Driver only (30-0255 / IO700-EN). SAM Medical also states the needles can be inserted manually by hand without the driver as a backup method.
Application sites	The manufacturer data on this listing states proximal humerus, proximal tibia, distal tibia and distal femur (paediatric only) for the SAM IO system, and that sternal access is not indicated for this system. Verify against the current SAM Medical instructions for use before use.
Length selection	A clinical decision based on tissue depth at the chosen site, per the SAM Medical instructions for use and local protocol. This page does not publish a patient-size-to-length mapping.
CoTCCC status	CoTCCC publishes no brand recommendation for intraosseous needles or drivers. TCCC Guidelines address IO access as a procedure; that is a procedure-level reference and is not a recommendation attaching to this product.

Needles are system-specific consumables. A SAM IO needle does not fit another manufacturer's driver, and another manufacturer's needle does not fit the SAM IO Driver — order to the system you field.

▾Who Carries It

Paramedics, flight and critical-care transport crews re-stocking IO consumables · Combat medics, SOCM/IDC and Role 1 providers carrying a battery-free manual IO capability · Emergency departments and resuscitation trolleys standardised on the SAM IO system · Training programmes maintaining a separate consumable stock for skills stations.

Intraosseous access is an invasive procedure restricted to providers credentialed for it under local protocol and medical direction. Site selection, length selection, insertion depth, confirmation and dwell time are clinical decisions governed by the SAM Medical instructions for use and your service's protocol — not by a product page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What needle sizes are available for the SAM IO Driver?

SAM IO Needles are available in three 15-gauge lengths: 15 mm (MEDTAC1056), 25 mm (MEDTAC1057), and 45 mm (MEDTAC1058). The 15 mm is appropriate for pediatric patients or thin-framed adults at tibial sites with minimal soft tissue. The 25 mm is the standard adult size for most proximal tibia and proximal humerus applications. The 45 mm is indicated for obese patients or adult proximal humerus access where greater soft tissue depth must be cleared. Each size is available individually or in packs of five.

Can SAM IO Needles be inserted without the SAM IO Driver?

Yes. SAM IO Needles feature a 5-point grind tip geometry that allows them to be manually inserted by hand in emergency situations when the SAM IO Driver is unavailable. Manual insertion requires firm, controlled downward rotational pressure to penetrate the cortical bone. While the driver provides better control and tactile feedback, the hand-insertion option provides a critical backup for provider redundancy during IO access under field conditions.

What is the NeedleVISE that comes with each needle?

The NeedleVISE® is a single-use sharps containment block included in each sterile SAM IO Needle package. After IO needle placement and successful access, the stylet is removed from the catheter. The NeedleVISE captures and contains the sharp stylet, preventing accidental needle-stick injury during the post-insertion phase when the provider is focused on aspiration, flushing, and infusion setup. It is a key safety element in the SAM IO system designed for rapid single-handed use.

Are SAM IO Needles color-coded?

Yes. SAM IO Needles use color-coded hubs that adhere to IO industry standards: the 15 mm needle hub is pink/white, the 25 mm is blue, and the 45 mm is yellow. Depth indication markers on the shaft provide additional confirmation of insertion depth. The color system allows providers familiar with other IO platforms to adopt the SAM IO without relearning size identification schemes.

Are SAM IO Needles compatible with other IO drivers?

No. SAM IO Needles are designed exclusively for use with the SAM IO Driver (30-0255 / IO700-EN). The snap-fit connection mechanism and the needle's ratchet-engagement geometry are proprietary to the SAM IO system. They are not compatible with EZ-IO drills, FAST-1, BIG, or other IO platforms. Always match the correct needle to the correct driver system.
