Canine Cricothyrotomy Simulator

Make Emergency Airway Training More Realistic

  Cricothyrotomy is a procedure where anatomical knowledge and precise technique need to come together quickly. The Canine Cricothyrotomy Simulator gives veterinary and vet tech students a dedicated model for practicing emergency airway access in a controlled setting. The simulator includes a layer of simulated blood between the skin and ligament. During the incision, this added layer creates a more realistic procedural experience and introduces an additional challenge for learners to manage as they work toward the airway. Students can practice identifying the relevant anatomical landmarks, positioning the patient, making the incision, locating the ligament, and establishing airway access. The ability to repeat the procedure also gives instructors an opportunity to evaluate technique and help learners become more comfortable with an emergency procedure that may be encountered infrequently in clinical practice. Use the Canine Cricothyrotomy Simulator in veterinary emergency medicine, anesthesia, surgical skills, and advanced veterinary technician training where realistic airway-access practice is especially valuable.
