Emergency Airway/Cricothyrotomy Trainer

Train for one of the most critical, high-stakes procedures in medicine with a realistic, bleeding Emergency Airway Access/cricothyrotomy trainer designed for speed, accuracy, and confidence under pressure.

Built around anatomically accurate landmarks and layered tissue simulation, this model enables learners to practice rapid airway access in “can’t intubate, can’t oxygenate” scenarios. Unlike many traditional trainers, this system incorporates bleeding tissue simulation, introducing visual obstruction and urgency that more closely reflects real-world conditions.

Features:
Anatomically accurate airway landmarks
Rigid base incorporates key bony and cartilaginous structures, including the cricoid, trachea, and surrounding anatomy, supporting accurate landmark identification and procedural execution.

Layered, replaceable tissue system
Interchangeable skin, blood, fascia patches and cric membranes recreate the feel of incising popping through soft tissue layers. Each patch is single-use, ensuring consistent realism across training sessions.

Integrated bleeding for realism
Simulated bleeding occurs during incision, replicating the obscured field and urgency characteristic of real emergency airways. Bleeding has been shown to significantly enhance training realism compared to non-bleeding models.

Visual confirmation of success
Integrated airway system with insufflation balloon provides immediate feedback upon correct placement, mirroring features seen in leading trainers that confirm airway access.

High-throughput, cost-effective design
Quickly reset the model between users by replacing only the tissue layer and membrane—enabling scalable training across large groups without sacrificing realism.

What You Can Practice:

• Identification of cricothyroid membrane under realistic conditions
  
• Rapid incision through skin, fascia and membrane layers
  
• Compatible with surgical or needle cricothyrotomy
  
• Performance under bleeding and low-visibility conditions
  
• Confirmation of correct airway placement via insufflation
  

What’s Included:

• Anatomical base with airway structure and insufflation system
  
• 5 replaceable skin / blood / fascia patches
  
• Roll of replaceable cricothyroid membrane material
  

Additional skin, blood and fascia patches may be purchased separately.
