Description
The SAM Splint is the best-selling splint in the world, used by medical responders, outdoor enthusiasts, and NASA, and is based on the ancient principle: ”Curves are strong”. The SAM Splint is made from a thin layer of aluminum, surrounded by foam rubber, and is highly flexible. By bending the SAM Splint, it becomes incredibly stiff, allowing it to immobilize any fracture or injured limb. There are three basic principles for using the SAM Splint. This allows a very flexible and bendable piece of aluminum to be shaped into a product that has even been used as a paddle or snow shovel in emergencies. Finally, the SAM Splint is easy to reshape and soft enough to cut to any desired size.
