The SAM® Splint is the gold standard in splints. Built from a thin core of aluminum alloy and sandwiched between two layers of closed-cell foam, the SAM Splint can be bent into any of three simple curves, becoming extremely strong and supportive for any fractured or injured limb. The SAM Splint is incredibly lightweight (only 4.0 oz.), and no other device offers so many variations for the treatment of orthopedic emergencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHOW THE SAM SPLINT WORKS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SAM® SPLINT is based on an ancient construction principle: curves are strong. The reason lies in the physics of curved surfaces, the same physics that allows skyscrapers and bridges to be built of I-beams and hollow columns rather than heavy steel pillars. A flat piece of sheet metal bends easily, but if you mold it into any of several \"structural curves,\" it becomes much more rigid. Many such curves are possible, but 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 even used it as an emergency canoe paddle or snow shovel. That's more than strong enough for any conceivable splinting need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlso available is the SAM Splint XL at 5.5\" wide, for improved support and immobilization of larger individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBENEFITS AND FEATURES\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Waterproof\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Reusable\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Lightweight and compact\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Radiolucent\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Fastens in place with tape or wrap of choice; no extra equipment is needed\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Not affected by extreme temperatures or altitudes\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Closed-cell foam allows easy cleaning and disinfection; material compatible with all standard cleaning solutions\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Provides added stability for all limbs including the neck\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Latex Free\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWHO USES THE SAM® SPLINT?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom outer space to the depths of the ocean, in all conditions of weather and terrain, the SAM® SPLINT is the emergency splint of choice for:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• EMS personnel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Military medics\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Athletic trainers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Ski patrols\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Veterinarians\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Wilderness rescue teams\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Outdoor adventurers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Boaters\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Safety engineers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTECHNICAL DATA\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Standard: 4.25\" x 36\"; 4oz; roll and flatfold\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Junior: 4.25\" x 18\"; 2.4oz; flatfold\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Wrist: 4.25\" x 9\"; 1.1oz; flat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• XL: 5.5\" X 36\"; 5.9oz; flatfold\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Finger: 1.8\" x 3.75\"; 0.2oz; flat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Vet Splint: 4.25\" x 36\"; roll\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Express Companies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41365441478749,"sku":"FA-GG9","price":7.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/2823\/7405\/files\/fa-gg9_2_1.jpg?v=1705726612","url":"https:\/\/firstlinegear.org\/products\/9-wrist-sam-splint-flat-reusable-1-each","provider":"Firstline Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
