SAM® Splint

SAM Splints are globally acclaimed by emergency care providers, outdoor enthusiasts, the US military, and even NASA.

• SAM® Splint’s two layers of closed-cell foam and its aluminium interior can be cut with ordinary scissors to adapt to any size requirements
• Flat, O-temper aluminium inside the splint’s outer layers moulds effortlessly, allowing a broader spectrum of applications
• Exterior closed-pore foam can be cleaned and disinfected with bleach and water for reuse
• Medical professionals can take X-Rays and CT scans without removing the splint from the fractured or injured limb
• Designed to function across the spectrum of global temperatures
• Substantially lighter than plaster or fibreglass splints, SAM® Splint requires only a wrap or tape to secure an injured bone or stabilise a joint

The 3 Basic Bends

Without any bends, the SAM® Splint is completely malleable, to be shaped however the user desires. When you make a curve or fold anywhere across its longitudinal axis, it becomes rigid and suitable for splinting. With the following 3 bends; C-Curve, Reverse C-Curve and T-Curve, the strength and rigidity allow any bone to be splinted appropriately.

C-Curve, Storng

This curve immediately adds strength and rigidity to the splint. It can be done by placing your thumbs in the centre as a place and pulling in the edges to create a shallow C.

Reverse C-Curve, Stronger

Created by firstly making the C-Curve, then bending back both edges in a reverse direction to add additional strength.

T-Curve, Strongest

Fold the splint in half lengthways then bend half of each side back in the opposite direction to create a ‘T’ shaped beam. Bending the splint this way adds exceptional strength to the splint.
