Cricothyrotomy surgical set
In response to the NAP4 study addressing the clinical need for both Seldinger1 and surgical cricothyrotomy procedures to be taught side-by-side, Cook Medical is introducing a compact surgical set. This cricothyrotomy range expansion allows clinicians to stay up to date with the latest developments. The new surgical set can be used both inside and outside hospital settings. It is specifically packaged for procedural use and ideal for smaller work spaces. It is also easily transported in medical kit bags and packs. When a patient loses an airway, physicians oft en only have seconds to make a life-saving decision. Training and preparedness are key for successful surgical and Seldinger cricothyrotomy procedures. It is critical that healthcare institutions provide the equipment and training necessary for their staff to deal with emergency airway access procedures. Although it is a rare procedure, a cricothyrotomy can mean the difference between life and death. Being able to carry it out quickly minimizes the risk of damage from oxygen starvation.’
