PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — Venous Access Consumable

Saline Lock Kit

A compact, vacuum-sealed kit carrying every component a trained provider needs to establish a secured saline lock in the field — including the RAPTOR™ IV Securing Device for tape-free catheter retention. Just 1.3 oz packaged, it meets all requirements for U.S. Army Task 081-831-1011 and fits any IFAK or aid-bag side pocket.

RAPTOR™ SecurementVacuum Sealed1.3 ozArmy Task 081-831-1011

One of the most common failure modes in tactical IV therapy is catheter dislodgement during casualty movement and evacuation — and tape adhesion fails precisely when the skin is wet, dirty, or bloody.

What keeps a field IV site secured through a movement-intensive evac?

This kit was purpose-built around that problem. Its centerpiece is NAR's RAPTOR™ IV Securing Device — a dedicated mechanical catheter-retention system that eliminates reliance on surgical tape, a significant advantage in austere conditions where tape simply won't hold. The kit packages two 18G × 1.25″ catheters (a built-in second attempt without breaking into a separate supply pack), a 10cc luer-lock syringe and locking saline plug for flushing and lock placement, a latex-free constricting band, and a clear adhesive dressing that works in concert with the RAPTOR™ to hold the site through evacuation. Referenced in PHTLS 6th Edition (Military) as a field-proven saline-lock system, it meets the complete requirements of U.S. Army Task 081-831-1011, the standard-of-care consumable for military medics and combat lifesavers. The whole kit is vacuum-sealed in a rugged 5.5 × 3.25 × 1″ pouch.

Provider scope: Peripheral IV cannulation and saline-lock placement are advanced skills for trained medical personnel operating within their scope of practice and local protocols. This listing describes kit contents and specifications; it is not a substitute for accredited training, and no normal saline is included.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a saline lock and why is it used in tactical medicine?

A saline lock (also called a hep-lock or IV lock) is a capped intravenous catheter left in place to provide immediate venous access when IV fluids or medications need to be administered, without requiring continuous fluid infusion. In tactical settings, saline locks are preferred over continuous IV lines during evacuation because they allow freedom of movement, reduce the risk of accidentally pulling the line, and maintain access for rapid drug or fluid administration when the casualty reaches a higher level of care. The NAR Saline Lock Kit provides all supplies needed to place and secure a saline lock in the field.

How does the RAPTOR IV Securing Device work?

The NAR RAPTOR™ IV Securing Device is a mechanical catheter retention system included in the saline lock kit. Unlike tape-based securing methods, the RAPTOR uses a physical locking mechanism to anchor the catheter hub and prevent dislodgement during patient movement. This is especially valuable in tactical environments where the patient's skin may be wet, bloody, or contaminated with dirt, conditions under which adhesive tape typically fails. The RAPTOR can be applied without tape, making it reliable across all environmental conditions.

Does the NAR Saline Lock Kit meet military training standards?

Yes. The NAR Saline Lock Kit (30-0013, NSN 6515-01-537-4094) meets all requirements for U.S. Army Task 081-831-1011 (Establish a Saline Lock). It is referenced in PHTLS 6th Edition (Military) as a field-proven system for saline lock placement and maintenance during tactical casualty care and evacuation. This makes it the standard consumable kit for medics and combat lifesavers following TCCC and Army protocols.

Why are two IV catheters included in the kit?

Two 18G × 1.25 in catheters are included to allow a second cannulation attempt without requiring the medic to source supplies from a separate pack in a high-stress environment. Venous access failure on a first attempt is common, particularly in hypovolemic patients with collapsed veins or in poor lighting conditions. Having a second catheter immediately available within the same kit reduces time-to-access and improves the probability of successful cannulation on a casualty.

What is the difference between the NAR Saline Lock Kit and the TacMed Saline Lock Kit?

Both kits provide the essential components for field saline lock placement, but they differ in specific components. The NAR Saline Lock Kit (30-0013) features the NAR RAPTOR™ IV Securing Device for tape-free catheter retention, and comes vacuum-sealed in a rugged compact pouch. It uses a locking saline plug and includes two 18G × 1.25 in catheters, a 10cc Luer-Lock syringe, and a hypodermic needle. The TacMed™ Saline Lock Kit uses a Smartsite adapter (saline lock), Linebacker IV securing device, and Tegaderm dressing. Both are proven field systems; selection often comes down to provider training and system familiarity.
