Product Overview

After a surgical cricothyroidotomy is performed and the cuffed tracheostomy tube is placed, securing the tube is one of the most critical post-procedure steps. An unsecured or inadequately secured tube can be dislodged during patient movement, particularly in the rough-terrain and multi-platform transport scenarios common in CASEVAC operations. Tube dislodgment after a surgical airway is established is a potentially fatal complication — reestablishing a surgical airway is far more difficult than the initial procedure.

The NAR Tracheal Tube Securing Strap provides a dedicated, engineered solution for this step. Unlike improvised tape or ties, this strap is designed specifically for the NAR tracheostomy tube's dimensions and attachment points, ensuring reliable retention during all phases of transport. It wraps around the patient's neck to anchor the tube and distributes retention forces appropriately to prevent both accidental dislodgment and excessive pressure on the surgical site.

The strap is included as a standard component in both the NAR BAC-Pack and Tactical CricKit — reflecting NAR's philosophy that a surgical airway kit must include everything through the end of the procedure, not just the incision phase. It is also available as a standalone replacement component for providers who have used or lost the strap from a complete kit.

Complete Surgical Airway System: The Tracheal Tube Securing Strap is the final step in a complete surgical airway sequence. Pair with the NAR BAC-Pack or NAR Tactical CricKit for a complete end-to-end surgical airway capability from incision through CASEVAC.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is tube securing critical after surgical cricothyroidotomy?

After a surgical airway is established, the tracheostomy tube must be reliably secured to prevent displacement during CASEVAC and patient transport. Tube dislodgment after a surgical airway placement is a potentially life-threatening complication — the surgical site begins to close rapidly and reestablishing the airway is significantly harder than the initial procedure. A dedicated tube securing strap provides engineered retention superior to improvised tape or ties in field conditions, especially during rough-terrain transport, vehicle loading, and helicopter evacuation.

Which NAR tubes is this strap designed for?

The NAR Tracheal Tube Securing Strap is designed specifically for the NAR Tracheostomy Tube with Bougie Introducer (SKU: 10-0048). It is compatible with standard 6mm cuffed tracheostomy tubes used in surgical cricothyroidotomy. The strap is included as standard in the NAR BAC-Pack (10-0052) and Tactical CricKit (10-0017), and is available separately as a replacement component.

Is the Tracheal Tube Securing Strap included in the NAR cric kits?

Yes. The Tracheal Tube Securing Strap is a standard component in both the NAR BAC-Pack and the NAR Tactical CricKit. NAR includes it in these kits because tube securing is an integral step in the complete surgical airway procedure — the kit is designed to support the provider through the entire intervention from incision to transport-ready secured airway.

How does the strap attach to the patient?

The Tracheal Tube Securing Strap wraps around the patient's neck and attaches to the flanged tracheostomy tube to hold it firmly in position at the surgical site. This circumferential neck attachment distributes retention forces and resists both accidental dislodgment from tube movement and torque from patient repositioning. The design is optimized for field use with gloved hands.

Can I use this strap with non-NAR tracheostomy tubes?

The strap is designed and optimized for NAR's tracheostomy tube, but it may be compatible with other similarly dimensioned 6mm flanged cuffed tracheostomy tubes. Confirm physical compatibility with the specific tube before operational deployment. When possible, use matched components from the same kit system (NAR tube with NAR strap) to ensure designed fit and retention performance.
