Basic Field Surgical Airway Kit w/ ET Tube
A pre-assembled provider-scope airway set for clinicians trained in surgical cricothyrotomy and endotracheal intubation.
What is the Basic Field Surgical Airway Kit? A pre-assembled set of the core supplies a trained provider needs to establish a definitive airway in the field. It includes a scalpel, ET tube holder, Curaplex® trach hook, syringe, face mask, gauze, a PVP prep pad, and a cuffed 5.5 mm ET tube (without stylette) — organized for immediate access in an airway emergency.
Surgical cricothyrotomy and endotracheal intubation are advanced airway procedures performed by clinicians trained and credentialed within their scope of practice. This page describes the kit and its components — it is not a procedural how-to, and it is not a substitute for accredited clinical training. The trach hook and cuffed ET tube are advanced instruments requiring training and authorization to use.

What It Is
A compromised airway is among the most immediately life-threatening emergencies in tactical and prehospital medicine. This kit assembles the core supplies that support providers trained in endotracheal intubation and surgical cricothyrotomy — the two primary definitive airway interventions available in the field. Components are selected for functional purpose, with nothing superfluous.
The Curaplex® trach hook is a specialized instrument for tracheal retraction during a surgical airway. The cuffed 5.5 mm ET tube (without stylette) is sized for adult patients at the lower end of the normal range — a balanced single-size choice when full airway-assessment tools are unavailable. The Luer-lock 10 mL syringe is the standard tool for cuff inflation, the PVP prep pad supports antiseptic site preparation, the two 4×4 gauze pads support field wound management around the site, and the ET tube holder secures tube position after placement to prevent dislodgement during transport.
Who This Kit Is For
This is an advanced provider kit — intended for paramedics, flight medics, emergency physicians, and Special Operations medical personnel operating under protocols that authorize surgical airway or endotracheal intubation. It is not a beginner kit; the trach hook and cuffed ET tube are advanced instruments requiring training and authorization to use.
