Product Overview
The MARCH Pre-Lubricated Nasal Airway is designed by Combat Medical Systems to integrate seamlessly into MARCH-protocol trauma kits. MARCH stands for Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Hypothermia/Head Injury — the sequential framework adopted by military medical personnel for trauma management. By color-coding their packaging to align with each MARCH step, Combat Medical Systems ensures providers can quickly identify and access the correct intervention under stress, in low-light, or with degraded fine motor skills.
The 28 Fr NPA is the "A" step in any MARCH-compliant kit — airway management for the unconscious or obtunded trauma casualty. The pre-lubricated design speeds insertion: no separate lubricant packet to open, no delay. The soft, latex-free material provides atraumatic passage through the nasal passage with a beveled tip designed to track smoothly along the nasal floor.
The MARCH packaging includes basic pictographic insertion instructions, which is a key feature for first responders, military personnel, or bystanders who may be operating under extreme duress. Visual step-by-step guidance supports correct technique when training has become difficult to recall under stress — a design feature specifically validated in high-performance human-factors research for medical devices.
