The Crico Chris – Cricothyrotomy Task Trainer enables realistic and safe training of the technically demanding cricothyrotomy procedure. The model includes an anatomically accurate larynx with a replaceable conic ligament as well as an interchangeable skin layer, both of which can be rotated 360°. This feature allows for a variety of practice options before replacement materials are needed. Particularly noteworthy is the integrated, blood-filled pouch between the skin and ligament, which realistically releases blood during incision, thereby simulating the complexity of the intervention. The materials are characterised by a high tactile fidelity and support the precise handling of the cricothyrotomy under as realistic conditions as possible. The trainer thus promotes efficiency and safety in clinical workflows by enabling repeated, risk-free practice. Thanks to the modular design and the use of durable components, the model also ensures high cost-effectiveness. Overall, the Crico Chris contributes to the improvement of practical skills, which positively impacts patient safety and the quality of emergency care.
