NAR Cricothyrotomy Kit

Rapid Front of Neck Airway When Seconds Matter

The NAR Cricothyrotomy Kit is engineered for clinicians and tactical medics who must establish definitive airway access under extreme time pressure. When oral or nasal intubation is impossible, this kit provides a preinserted bougie that lets users introduce and confirm tube position in the trachea before advancing the tube. That confirm first then insert workflow reduces uncertainty and speeds the procedure in high stress cases, including severe facial trauma, airway obstruction, and failed intubation scenarios. Compact packaging and a simple, familiar technique let combat medics, EMS teams, and emergency department personnel carry and deploy the kit where immediate front of neck access is required.

Preinserted Adjustable Bougie for Confident Placement

This cric kit includes a preinserted bougie introducer that is adjustable for user preference, allowing operators to set bougie exposure before use and tuck excess into the included protective cap that rests on the tracheostomy tube. The preinserted design eliminates the need to manipulate a separate stylet during the initial critical steps, streamlining the procedure. The sterile, latex free tube features a 6.0mm inner diameter and an inflatable cuff, offering an effective seal for ventilation once placement is confirmed. The tube length of 67.0mm and outer diameter of 8.0mm provide a low profile, secure airway option in adult emergency cases.

Sterile Flexible Tube Built for Tough Conditions

Constructed from a proven flexible tube design, this kit delivers a balance of pliability and strength so the tube negotiates anatomy without kinking once placed. The device is sterile out of package and latex free, minimizing risk of allergic reaction while meeting expectations for single use emergency airway devices. The inflatable cuff enables positive pressure ventilation with an improved seal compared to uncuffed options, and the kit ships in compact packaging that is easy to stow in a trauma bag or kit. Lightweight at under an ounce, the device is optimized for rapid carry and minimal footprint during operations where every ounce matters.

Designed for Diverse Environments and Users

The cricothyrotomy kit is suitable for a wide range of environments, from austere field care to urban emergency departments and air medical transports. Its straightforward technique supports providers with varying levels of procedural frequency, including combat medics, tactical emergency medical specialists, paramedics, and trauma surgeons. The adjustable bougie and low profile tube accommodate user preference and different patient anatomies, while sterile packaging makes it appropriate for immediate use onsite or as a reserve device in a crash cart. The kit integrates into tactical gear, ambulance IFAKs, and hospital airway trays where dependable emergent airway access is required.
