A surgical airway is the lowest-frequency, highest-stakes skill a tactical provider carries — performed rarely, under the worst conditions, with no room to assemble loose components or hunt for the next item.
What gets every surgical-airway component into one organized package?
The Tactical CricKit is NAR's all-in-one cricothyroidotomy solution, built to the CoTCCC requirements for a surgical airway kit. The 500-denier nylon pouch unrolls to a relatively clean working surface and holds every component in elastic loops in the order they're used, so a credentialed provider works sequentially without searching or reorganizing. It carries a flexible cuffed 6mm tube with obturator, NAR tracheal hook, #10 protected scalpel, 10cc syringe, tube securing strap, and prep materials — 3.7–4 oz, sized for a dedicated surgical-airway pocket.
Why This Kit
CoTCCC-Engineered
Built to contain the components CoTCCC requires for a surgical airway kit in tactical settings.
Order-of-Use Layout
Components staged left-to-right in the sequence they're needed — no searching mid-procedure.
Pouch Is a Work Surface
The 500D nylon roll-out provides a relatively clean drop zone in a contaminated field.
Light & Compact
3.7–4 oz and slim enough for a dedicated surgical-airway pocket on a medic's kit.
Provider Scope
Surgical cricothyroidotomy is an advanced intervention reserved for credentialed providers trained and authorized in the procedure, operating within their scope of practice and local protocol. This kit is offered as equipment for qualified providers and is not a substitute for formal surgical-airway training. No procedural technique is provided here.
