The CICO Rescue Cricothyroidotomy Trainer - Vortex is designed for realistic procedural practice. Insert the larynx into the neck model, apply medical tape over the cricothyroid space to simulate the membrane, then secure a 3-5mm thick foam sheet through the vertical slots to mimic skin. Pull the foam taut and position the neck on a flat surface to maintain skin tension during the procedure. This setup allows multiple learners to perform cricothyroidotomies sequentially by lifting and repositioning the foam and tape, ensuring efficient, hands-on training in emergency airway access.
