TacMed Saline Lock Kit
A compact, complete kit for establishing secured saline-lock IV access in the field.
What is the TacMed Saline Lock Kit? An IV-access kit (SKU MEDTAC0390) by Tactical Medical Solutions providing the components to establish a saline lock for field IV access. The streamlined kit includes two 18G catheters, a Smartsite adapter, Tegaderm dressing, Linebacker IV securing device, and a 10 mL saline flush syringe — everything for catheter placement and secured venous access in tactical and austere environments.
Peripheral IV cannulation and saline-lock placement are provider-scope skills performed under appropriate training, protocol, and medical direction. This page describes the kit and its contents; it is not a substitute for accredited clinical training and is not a procedural how-to.

What It Is
The TacMed™ Saline Lock Kit is TacMed Solutions' field-optimized IV-access kit, providing a logistically compact and complete system for establishing secured saline-lock access. The Smartsite adapter creates a needleless access port, reducing accidental needle-stick risk during subsequent medication administration. The Linebacker IV securing device provides a mechanical anchor for the catheter hub that doesn't rely solely on Tegaderm adhesive for retention — important in wet or dirty field conditions where adhesive alone may fail.
TacMed kits are trusted by military medics and special operations forces for their proven component selection. The two-catheter supply provides a second access attempt without breaking into a separate supply pack. The pre-loaded 10 mL saline syringe supports flushing after catheter placement, and the Smartsite adapter allows subsequent drug administration through the access port without additional needles. All use follows the provider's training, protocol, and medical direction.
