Cricath®
Cricothyrotomy catheter with an < 3 mm ID, especially designed to be used with Ventrain®.
In an emergency situation, often ‘Cannot Intubate, Cannot Oxygenate’, Cricath® offers rapid access to the trachea, by means of a needle cannula cricothyrotomy technique. Using Cricath® in combination with Ventrain® is key to rapidly and safely re-oxygenate and ventilate.
- Small bore: minimally invasive
- Curved needle: easy insertion
- Saving lives in CICO situations
In an emergency situation, often ‘Cannot Intubate, Cannot Oxygenate’, Cricath offers rapid access to the trachea, by means of a needle cannula cricothyrotomy technique.
The ultimate solution in the “Non Intubable Non Oxygenable Non Oxygenable” (NINO)
“Non-intubable Non-oxygenable” patients represent an emergency that may require immediate access to the airway by means of a cricothyroidotomy technique. Ventrain® in combination with the Cricath® Transtracheal Catheter is the first and only emergency ventilation device on the market, which uses a 2 mm internal diameter catheter inserted through the cricothyroid membrane:
Allows the patient to be adequately ventilated using EVA® Assisted Ventila- tory Expiratory Ventilation technology in an obstructed upper airway.
It offers a minute volume (MV) of over 6 L/min and an I/E ratio of 1:1, when using a flow rate of 15 L/min.
