PRODUCT INFORMATION

Tactical Medical Solutions · IV / Vascular Access

TacMed™ Saline Lock Kit

A field-packaged peripheral IV access set that establishes a saline lock — vascular access without a fluid bag. Two 18 G catheters, a needleless Smartsite adapter and dual retention (Tegaderm plus a Linebacker securing device) in one flat package, so a medic can gain and hold access during Tactical Field Care and keep the line usable through evacuation.

18 G × 1.25 in cathetersNeedleless Smartsite adapterTegaderm + Linebacker retentionSKU SLK

Access placed early and secured twice survives the litter carry. A line taped once does not.

What's Included

One saline lock kit per package, single configuration. Everything below ships in the kit; no IV administration set and no fluid bag are included — this kit establishes a lock, not an infusion. Tap to open.

A saline lock gives you a patent, capped line for medication administration without carrying fluid. If fluid resuscitation is the goal, the TacMed Vascular Access Kit is the correct product — it adds an administration set.

▾Who Carries It

Combat medics and 68W/18D establishing access during Tactical Field Care when medication capability is needed downrange of the point of injury but a fluid bag is not · Tactical EMS and paramedics working in resource-limited settings where access matters more than volume · Flight and CCT crews who want a second line secured before a long transport · Training programs running IV cannulation skill labs, where a pre-packaged kit simplifies logistics across a large cohort.

Peripheral IV cannulation, saline-lock placement and any medication given through that line are credentialed skills governed by the provider's scope of practice and local protocol.
