OUR STORY,
We are two brothers with creative entrepreneurial mind sets, Both having a background in Aviation, where the sky is the limit!
So naturally ... when we came across a problem from a very intelligent individual for keeping Cricothyrotomy trainings low cost and effective, we were all in!
The idea originated from a nursing education specialist, who's team has 50 nurses and medics who needed to practice their cricothyrotomy skills several times per year. Cric trainers can range from $200 up to over $1000. And not only that, but there are expensive replacement skins and essential items needed to make the trainers work.
​
Hospitals or medical facilities who need to keep their staff proficient, can easily go through 100's of expensive replacement skins in a year, driving up costs.
Most people in the profession have seen the alternative. The ingenious homemade Cric trainers, cobbled together out of ventilator tubing, tape, and other items that one could find on the shelf.
No doubt these homemade Cric Trainers have served their purpose. But if your looking to replace your homemade Cric trainer with something more durable, easier to use, and still affordable, then you have come to the right place.
​
The C.U.T. was born with these simple goals in mind!
AFFORDABLE (Low Cost to purchase, even lower cost for repetitive trainings)
EFFECTIVE (Anatomical representation of airway, realistic landmarks ect.)
DURABLE (under intended use and care, should last for 100's of trainings, if not more)
SIMPLE (A piece of 3d printed plastic, as simple as you can get!)
OPEN SOURCE DESIGN (print your own, or modify the design to your needs!)
