This collection covers single-use intraosseous (IO) access devices used by paramedics, emergency clinicians and hospital staff for rapid vascular access when intravenous access isn't possible. It includes both Bone Injection Gun (B.I.G) spring-loaded devices and NIO handle-driven devices, available across adult, paediatric and infant sizes.
What's included:
- Bone Injection Gun (B.I.G) devices: single-use spring-loaded IO devices in Adult and Paediatric versions, with a carry bag that holds two guns.
- NIO devices with fixation dressing: NIO Adult, Paediatric and Infant devices supplied with an integrated fixation dressing to secure the device after insertion.
- NIO Plus: an adult device with an integrated handle and fixation dressing.
Use cases:
- Paramedics and emergency clinicians: needing rapid IO vascular access in trauma or cardiac arrest situations.
- Hospitals and ambulance services: stocking IO devices across adult, paediatric and infant sizes for different patient groups.
- Clinical training providers: note that reusable IO training devices (not for patient use) are stocked separately in our Trainers collection.
FAQs
What's the difference between the B.I.G and NIO devices?
The B.I.G is a spring-loaded, trigger-fired IO device, while the NIO range uses a manually driven handle mechanism — both are designed for single-use intraosseous access.
Are these devices single use?
Yes, all devices in this collection are single-use, sterile products intended for one patient use only. For reusable practice devices, see our Trainers collection.
Which size should I stock for paediatric or infant patients?
Paediatric and Infant variants are available in both the B.I.G and NIO ranges — select the size appropriate to patient age and weight per the device's instructions for use.
What does the included "fixation dressing" do?
The fixation dressing secures the inserted device and cannula in place, helping keep it stable during patient movement or transport.
