When IV access fails, SAM IO delivers
Posted by DS Medical on 20th Jan 2026
At RCUK 25, we were proud to introduce the SAM IO to the resuscitation community, and the response spoke for itself!
Throughout the event, we had meaningful, practical conversations with resuscitation officers and frontline clinicians about one shared challenge: fast, reliable vascular access when IV access fails. The SAM IO stood out as a solution designed specifically for these high-pressure moments.
Why clinicians were drawn to SAM IO
Speed and simplicity – rapid intraosseous access when seconds matter
- Manual driver design – no batteries, no charging, always ready
- Controlled, tactile insertion – reduce complications and improve confidence
- Compact and intuitive – easy to deploy in both pre-hospital and in-hospital settings
From conversation to availability
Following the strong interest at RCUK 25, we’re pleased to confirm that SAM IO will be available via NHS Supply Chain in 2026, making it easier than ever for services to adopt this capability into their emergency response pathways.
Training & familiarisation support
Introducing a new device is about more than procurement; it’s about confidence and competence. That’s why we also offer:
On-site or virtual training sessions
- Hands-on familiarisation workshops
- Support for resus teams, education leads, and clinical trainers
Whether you’re planning for 2026 or exploring options now, we’re here to support a smooth and confident rollout of SAM IO within your service.

Because when access matters most, simplicity matters more.
