Abstract: A thoracic vent kit has a reservoir and an introducing port and a catheter port. A removable cannula is small enough to fit in the catheter, but has an internal diameter that can accommodate a flexible guide wire. The cannula has a beveled tip and a luer threaded cap at the opposite end. A removable plug has a chamfer that can be used to seal the luer passage.
