The series where we give you an inside look at the equipment we use every day to help save lives!

Today, we’re featuring our IO Gun!
IO stands for intraosseous, which means into the bone. This device uses a special needle to quickly and safely access the bone when traditional IV access cannot be obtained.

This allows our crews to deliver life-saving medications and fluids in critical situations—especially when seconds truly matter.
