Here is the pic I promised...the Cook Catheter "Emergency Transtracheal Airway Catheter" that is wire reinforced so it can't kink and the one way in-line fish tank valve (the exact same as the large Heimlich valve in the PTX kit only much smaller) from Walmart that I had sterilized at the hospital. Alot less money than the PTX kit they sell and infact I've been working with my Cook rep to add this to their equipment line.
