36" Gray SAM Splint- Flat from Rescue Essentials
Acclaimed by emergency care providers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide (and even beyond the Earth, on NASA space shuttles), the SAM SPLINT is based on an ancient construction principle: curves are strong.The SAM SPLINT is built from a thin core of aluminum alloy, sandwiched between two layers of closed-cell foam. Freshly unrolled from storage, the splint is extremely pliable. Bent into any of three simple curves, it becomes extremely strong and supportive for any fractured or injured limb.At the same time, the SAM SPLINT is extremely moldable, and soft enough to cut with ordinary household scissors. The result: with the proper choice of curves outlined in the training guide, almost any bone in the body can be splinted. It's even possible to use the SAM SPLINT to create an emergency cervical collar for neck injuries.SAM SPLINT is the emergency splint of choice for:• EMS personnel• Military medics• Athletic trainers• Ski patrols• Wilderness rescue teams• Outdoor adventurers• Waterproof• Lightweight and compact (4 oz. for 4.25" x 36" strip)• Radiolucent (does not have to be removed for X-rays)• Can be rolled or folded for easy storage in emergency kits/backpacks• Fastens in place with tape or wrap.
