Curaplex® Emergency Surgical Cricothyrotomy Kit

A complete single-use surgical airway kit in one sealed plastic bag: 6.5 mm cuffed ET tube, tracheal dilator, trach hook, disposable scalpel, 12 mL Luer-lock syringe, tube holder, face mask with splashguard, gauze and skin prep. 10 oz. Everything the procedure needs in one package, so nothing has to be assembled from a crash cart under pressure.

The value of a pre-packed cric kit is not the parts — it is that nobody is opening drawers looking for a dilator while the saturation falls.

What's Included

Ten items in one sealed bag. This is the full list as published by the manufacturer. Tap to open.

Component list, tube size, weight and single-use status are as published by the manufacturer. Two gaps are stated rather than filled: no sterility claim and no shelf life appear in the source data for a kit whose contents enter the airway, and neither should be assumed from the sealed bag. This page deliberately carries no indications, no contraindications, no patient age or size range and no procedural steps. The legacy listing carried an incidence figure for the cannot-intubate-cannot-oxygenate scenario and a procedure completion time; both are dropped here, because a product page is not where a clinician should be reading either. When a surgical airway is indicated, who may perform one, and by what technique, is governed by your licensure, your medical direction and your agency protocol.

▾Who Carries It

Emergency physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants carrying a difficult-airway plan that ends in a surgical airway · Paramedics whose scope and medical direction authorise surgical cricothyrotomy · Flight and critical-care transport crews working without a second airway operator · Military 18D and Special Operations medics and tactical medics trained to the procedure · ALS bags and airway rolls where a pre-packed kit replaces a component-by-component assembly.

This is the airway procedure of last resort, and it is explicitly not a BLS-level intervention. It is appropriate only for providers with specific surgical airway training and written authorisation from their medical director — possessing the kit does not create the authority to use it. Two practical points. First, a dedicated cric kit only helps if it is preplanned and immediately accessible, which means a fixed, briefed location in the bag, not the bottom of a compartment. Second, this kit contains no bougie and no confirmation device: build the rest of the procedure around it from your own inventory, and rehearse the whole sequence with the actual kit before the day you need it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a surgical cricothyrotomy and when is this kit used?

A surgical cricothyrotomy is an emergency airway procedure performed when a patient cannot be intubated by standard means and cannot be oxygenated — the so-called CICO scenario. It involves incising the cricothyroid membrane and inserting a cuffed tube directly into the airway. This kit is indicated as a last-resort airway rescue for trained emergency clinicians, paramedics, and military medics facing an obstructed or unobtainable airway due to trauma, anaphylaxis, or facial injury.

What ET tube size does the Curaplex Surgical Cricothyrotomy Kit include?

The Curaplex Emergency Surgical Cricothyrotomy Kit includes a 6.5mm cuffed endotracheal tube. This size is appropriate for adult patients of both sexes, providing adequate airway diameter while fitting through the cricothyroid membrane incision. A 12mL Luer-lock syringe is included for cuff inflation and confirmation.

Is this kit suitable for use by EMS or only physicians?

The Curaplex Surgical Cricothyrotomy Kit is intended for licensed emergency clinicians with surgical airway training — including paramedics authorized under state or medical director protocols, emergency physicians, and military Special Operations medics (18D). BLS-level responders should not use this kit without specific scope-of-practice authorization and hands-on training. Many paramedic and flight programs include surgical cricothyrotomy in their advanced airway curricula.

Can this kit be stored in a tactical medic bag or IFAK?

Yes. The Curaplex kit is packaged in a sealed sterile plastic bag that is compact enough to fit within advanced medic bags, physician emergency kits, and flight crew packs. It is not typically included in individual IFAK-sized kits due to its surgical nature, but it is a standard addition to company-level aid bags, battalion aid stations, and advanced EMS bags where surgical airway capability may be needed.

Does the Curaplex Cricothyrotomy Kit include everything needed for the procedure?

Yes, the kit is designed to be self-contained for the surgical cricothyrotomy procedure. It includes the cuffed ET tube, ET tube holder, trach hook, tracheal dilator, disposable scalpel, 12mL syringe, face mask, gauze pads, and a skin prep swab — all single-use and sterile. The only external equipment required is a bag-valve mask (BVM) for post-placement ventilation, which is typically carried separately in an ALS kit.
