In a surgical airway, the hardest part isn't always the incision — it's getting the tube where it belongs through a small opening in a blood-filled field, without ending up in a false passage or paratracheal tissue.
What raises the odds the tube lands in the right place?
NAR built this as a tube component that integrates the bougie directly into a flexible, cuffed 6mm tracheostomy tube. The pre-loaded bougie supports a bougie-aided placement approach instead of advancing the tube blind — reducing the chance of false-passage or paratracheal misplacement. It's primarily a component upgrade for providers who already carry the rest of a surgical airway kit, and it pairs with the NAR Tracheal Tube Securing Strap for post-insertion security during CASEVAC. The 6mm cuffed tube meets TCCC surgical-airway tube specifications.
Why This Tube
Pre-Integrated Bougie
Bougie pre-loaded in the cuffed tube to support a bougie-aided placement approach.
Reduces Misplacement
Built to lower the risk of false-passage or paratracheal placement versus a blind tube.
TCCC Tube Spec
Flexible, cuffed, 6mm ID — meets TCCC surgical-airway tube specifications.
Component Upgrade
Drops into an existing surgical airway kit or stocks a custom build.
Provider Scope
This is a component for surgical cricothyroidotomy — a procedure requiring specific advanced training and authorization, performed by credentialed providers within their scope of practice and local protocol. It is offered as equipment for qualified providers and is not a substitute for formal surgical-airway training. No procedural technique is provided here.
