SAM Medical Splint, 36 L, Grey

The SAM Splint is highly regarded by emergency medical personnel and outdoor enthusiasts alike, including astronauts aboard NASA space shuttles. Its design is rooted in a time-tested principle: curves provide strength. Constructed from a thin aluminum alloy core, the SAM Splint is encased between two layers of closed-cell foam. When first unrolled, it is remarkably flexible. By shaping it into any of three distinct curves, the splint gains exceptional strength and support for fractured or injured limbs.

Despite its robustness once shaped, the SAM Splint is soft and pliable enough to be cut with regular household scissors. This versatility allows it to be used for splinting almost any bone in the body, according to the curves specified in the training guide. Additionally, it can be molded into an emergency cervical collar for neck injuries.

The SAM Splint is favored for its practicality in various emergency scenarios. It is the go-to choice for EMS personnel, military medics, athletic trainers, ski patrols, wilderness rescue teams, and outdoor adventurers. Its key features include:

• Waterproof: It can withstand exposure to water.
• Lightweight and Compact: Weighing just 4 ounces and measuring 4.25" x 36", it is easy to carry and store. It is also available in a smaller size as a finger splint, measuring 3.75" x 1.75".
• Radiolucent: It does not interfere with X-rays, so it remains in place during imaging.
• Flexible Storage: It can be rolled or folded for convenient storage in emergency kits or backpacks.
• No Additional Equipment Needed: It fastens securely with tape or a wrap.
• Temperature and Altitude Resistant: It remains effective in extreme temperatures and high altitudes.
• Reusable: Its closed-pore, impermeable foam surface makes it easy to clean and disinfect.

In summary, the SAM Splint’s combination of durability, flexibility, and ease of use makes it an indispensable tool for handling a wide range of injuries in various environments.
