Make your own Cric Trainer using every day supplies!
Step 1
Grab a hospital basin and start making some stand-in cartilage
Step 2
Use corrugated tubing to make some tracheas (preferably just extension tubing)
(Please note that coban is being used to stand the tracheas in the next steps but is not part of the trainer)
Step 3
Use some coban to add height and position for the cartilage
Step 4
Use a specimen bag for the tissue base
Step 5
Use some foam tape to build the tissue and skin base. Be careful not to make a seam over the cricothyroid membrane
Step 6
Use duoderm for the top layer of skin for a more realistic feel
Happy cutting! Try doing it with your eyes closed, a blocked field of view, or saturating with blood for a realistic challenge. Respond with pictures or ideas of your own!
