⚠️ Heads up: this video shows a real surgical procedure performed on a cadaver. If you're squeamish about blood or surgery, skip this one.Emergency cricothyrotomy in under a minute on a cadaver during training, using our Single Use illuminated scalpel. Thanks to Six Eight Medical for the footage.Emergency crics happen in the most unpredictable settings. Roadside, battlefield, back of a moving ambulance, a dark hallway, a power outage. It might be pitch black with no lighting available. That's when Lumohs goes from nice-to-have to need-to-have.We've seen the comments rolling in ("a scalpel with a light, I need 20 of those") and we appreciate the enthusiasm. But one important note before anyone hits the order button: this is a professional surgical instrument designed for trained medical providers operating within their scope of practice. A surgical airway is not a gadget purchase. The training behind that sub-minute time is what makes the tool work, and that training takes cadaver labs, instructors, and reps.If you're a clinician or a medic, and stocking a go-bag, please pair the tool with the training.
