Cricothyrotomy Set Surgicric

MR safe

Ready for use

The pre-assembled tube is immediately ready for use, valuable seconds by additional assembly are thus saved.

At the same time taking away the danger of making mistakes during assembly.

Atraumatic

Soft tip, thus avoiding injury to the posterior tracheal wall.Smooth transition from dilator to the tracheal tube.

Position check

Checking the position of the tracheal tube thanks to aspiration through dilator.

Soft Tip

Cricothyrotomy is a life-saving technique and is only used as a last resort for patients in “cannot intubate – cannot ventilate“ situations, according to all airway algorithms in the prehospital, emergency department, ICU and the operating room.

The Surgicric is a cricothyrotomy set to maintain ventilation in case of obstruction of the upper airway.With the Surgicric I VBM offers a cricothyrotomy set to perform the Rapid Four-Step Technique, Surgicric II is applied to the clas-sical surgical technique and Surgicric III allows a cricothyrotomy according to the Seldinger technique.

The unique instrument packing system provides the following advantages to the user:- Clear overview of all components- Sterile application in any environment- Small pack size, making it ideal for emergency bags

The main feature of Surgicric is the special combination of tube and dilator.The locking mechanism and the soft tip maximise patient safety and reduce the risk of injury.

Tracheal tube

Ø 6.0 mm I.D.

Patient Safety

The thin-walled, low pressure cuff guarantees a perfect seal, allows efficient ventilation and protects against aspiration.

Locking mechanism

The unique locking mechanism prevents accidental dislocation of the dilator from the tracheal tube.

Individually adjustable

The specially designed tracheal tube is longer than a standard tracheostomy tube and with the adjustable flange allows individual adaptation to the anatomical conditions of the patient.
