DESCRIPTION
Proudly Designed in the USA and Assembled in the USA!
This is a Open Source Basic Crico Trainer. Its called the Cricothyrotomy Unlimited Trainer or C.U.T. for short.
The C.U.T. provides a simple and affordable way to perform necessary training for accessing the airway through the neck. It provides a training device that is anatomically similar to a human neck. It is specifically designed to be affordable, allowing you to perform repetitions of the procedures at the lowest possible cost ($0.25 per session*). The trainer consists of a chin, cricothyroid notch, cricothyroid membrane opening, tracheal rings, and the airway. In conjunction with cricothyroid membrane tape and the skin overlay tape an anatomical representation of the neck necessary to practice the skills of surgical cricothyrotomy and needle cricothyrotomy are created. The C.U.T. is manufactured using 3D printed PLA which is a biodegradable thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources.
*The cost of $0.25 per session was calculated using the following consumable items. Two adhesive blockers @ $0.04 a piece, one 4 inch piece of C.U.T. skin tape @ $0.14 a piece, and one 4 inch piece of C.U.T. membrane tape @ $0.03 a piece.
