CricKit Tactical Cricothyrotomy Kit
This Tactical Cricothyrotomy Kit is designed for use by tactical medics in the field. It includes a portable manual inflation pump and scalpel. The kit provides a fast, safe and simple means of establishing an airway in an emergency situation.
The Tactical CricKit® is the ideal kit for performing a cricothyroidotomy in austere environments. For ease in both training and live fire situations, it’s components are provided in the proper order of use. Once unrolled, the Tactical CricKit’s 500-denier pouch provides a clean working surface for the operator, making it viable for use in low-light and battlefield environments. The Tactical Crickit also provides the user with a tracheal tube that is both the ideal size and length, along with a securing device to aid in secondary treatment and CASEVAC. To combat microbial contamination, the Tactical CricKit® is supplied with alcohol pads for immediate disinfection, and povidone for long-term protection. The Tactical CricKit® was specifically engineered to meet CoTCCC requirements for a surgical airway kit.
The scalpel is used to make a small incision in the skin at the front of the throat, and the tracheal hook is then used to lift the cricothyroid membrane and create an opening in the trachea. The penlight is used to check the patient's airway for obstructions, and the gloves are worn to protect the hands of the doctor.
