SAM Splint - Original 36" Orange/Blue
The Original SAM® Splint available in orange/blue for higher visibility!
The SAM® Splint invokes a new paradigm: it is built from a thin, light core of aluminum alloy which is then sandwiched between two layers of closed-cell foam. Unroll it from its package and it is extremely pliable. But bend it into any of three simple curves, and it becomes extremely strong and supportive - adequate for stabilizing any fractured or injured limb. The secret lies in the physics of curved surfaces, the same physics that allow skyscrapers and bridges to be built of I-beams and hollow columns rather than heavy steel pillars. For splinting with the SAM® Splint, you need only three basic curves. With these, you can convert a simple SAM® Splint into something so strong that people have used it as an emergency canoe paddle and even a snow shovel. A well-formed SAM® Splint is more than strong enough for any conceivable splinting need yet extremely moldable, and soft enough to cut with ordinary household scissors.
