Product Overview
The Tactical CricKit® is NAR's primary all-in-one cricothyroidotomy solution, specifically designed to the CoTCCC requirements for a surgical airway kit in tactical settings. Every component is selected and configured for the demands of the battlefield and austere environment: the roll-out nylon pouch provides a clean working surface when unrolled, the components are arranged left-to-right in the exact sequence of procedural use, and the minimal weight and cube allow the kit to fit into a dedicated surgical airway pocket on a combat medic's kit.
The 500-denier nylon pouch design solves a practical problem: in the field, the surgical field itself is often contaminated. The pouch's interior surface provides a relatively sterile drop zone for components as the provider steps through the procedure — a feature that supports correct technique under stress and in low-light, high-noise environments. Components are secured in elastic loops in order of use, so the provider can progress sequentially without searching or reorganizing.
The kit includes a tube with obturator (not a pre-inserted bougie), which follows the traditional open surgical cricothyroidotomy technique: incise, dilate/retract with hook, guide the tube into the trachea with the obturator in place, then remove the obturator and secure. The 6mm cuffed tube meets all TCCC size and design specifications. The included Tube Securing Strap provides a dedicated method for securing the tube for CASEVAC — eliminating improvised tape wrapping in the field.
CoTCCC Compliance Note: The Tactical CricKit® was specifically engineered to contain all components required by CoTCCC for a surgical airway kit. The tube dimensions (flexible, cuffed, 6mm ID), sequential component configuration, and securing strap reflect direct alignment with CoTCCC surgical airway requirements for tactical providers. For the bougie-assisted variant of the technique, see the NAR BAC-Pack. Full airway management collection here.
