Cricothyrotomy Kit

Cricothyrotomy Kit

The Cricothyrotomy Kit is a sterile, pre-assembled airway access system designed for emergency surgical airway procedures when conventional methods fail. This compact kit includes a 6.0 mm cuffed tracheostomy tube, curved scalpel, tracheal hook, securing strap, syringe, and connecting tubing, all organized in a durable, vacuum-sealed pouch. Each component is arranged for rapid access under stressful conditions, minimizing the need for repackaging or setup during time-critical interventions in hostile or remote environments.

The scalpel features a no-slip handle and sharp curved blade ideal for controlled incisions through the cricothyroid membrane. The included tracheal hook provides anterior traction of the cricoid cartilage, allowing clear access during insertion. The cuffed tube is compatible with standard bag-valve-mask systems and includes a low-pressure cuff for effective airway sealing. The packaging is color-coded for quick visual identification and optimized for use in low-light or confined-space operations, such as aircraft or armored vehicles.

The Cricothyrotomy Kit is primarily deployed by combat medics, special forces, and tactical field responders where airway obstruction poses an immediate threat to life. Its components enable life-saving intervention in cases of maxillofacial trauma, inhalation burns, or penetrating neck injuries. The lightweight format makes it ideal for ruck storage, individual first aid kits (IFAKs), or rotary-wing aircraft in high-risk military zones with limited medical support.

Tactical Supply Pakistan provides this surgical airway kit as part of its advanced trauma care inventory, ensuring combat teams have critical intervention tools available in extreme medical emergencies.

Is the Kit suitable for pediatric use?
No, this kit is intended for adult patients. Pediatric cricothyrotomy requires different tube sizes and technique adjustments due to anatomical differences and increased procedural risk.
