A novel olecranon-type tracheotomy and expansion forceps for single-person emergency airway access
OTEF enables efficient and minimally traumatic tracheostomies in emergency settings with minimal environmental and positioning requirements. In disaster sites or even on battlefields where medical personnel are in short supply, this device can enhance the battlefield rescue skills and emergency response capabilities of non-medical rescue workers, effectively alleviate rescue pressure and save the lives of the injured.
