Medical Splint - Sam Splint 2 pack - Perfect to Carry 36" RollThe original blue and orange SAM Splint is acclaimed by emergency care providers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide (and even beyond the Earth, on NASA space shuttles). The SAM Splint is the gold standard in splints and is still Made in the USA. 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 Ounce .), and no other device offers so many variations for the treatment of orthopedic emergencies.How The Sam Splint WorksThe 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.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.

Bought for a medical kit!

Doesn’t last long

Kept this in my emergency kit and came in handy for sleeping on long car rides in the mountains with winding roads. Wrapped around my neck and bent the sides down. Best not to bend this more than once or twice though because the metal underneath the foam may come through.

This stuff got me out of a slot canyon with a broken ankle.

When I broke my ankle in Fat Man's Misery slot canyon in the East Side backcountry of Zion National Park, I didn't even know about SAM Splints. However, there was a doctor in my group who had one, and he put it on my leg. I had some Vet Wrap in my pack that I compression-wrapped around the splint to further stabilize. Then I "hiked" out for 9 miles which took 15 hours. I say "hike" in quotations because the terrain was extreme even without getting lost, which we did. My journey out included steep uphills and downhills, rock scrambling/bouldering, and several extra, impromptu rappels off trail. I did not have to remove or adjust the splint the ENTIRE time, and it remained supportive and comfortable (as comfortable as could be reasonably expected), while my shorts were shredded to the point they were hanging off me by the time we got back to the car. I didn't this time, but I could have cleaned and re-rolled the splint for additional use afterward. YOU NEED THIS PRODUCT. After I got back from the trip, I purchased several in different sizes. I highly recommend pairing with Vet Wrap, which is cheap from any farm supply store like I.F.A. It's the stretchy fabric roll usually sold in bright colors. It's also marketed for human use but it's more expensive. Pretty sure it's the same stuff.

Same as used in the military

These are what we had when I as in the Army as a Physician Assistant. Great product, easy to use, lightweight. If you do any sort of backwoods hiking, exploring, kayaking, or any other type of adventuring in areas distant from medical care, these are fantastic. Keep one in you pack with an ace wrap and you can set and stabilize a fractured (or suspected fracture) limb. Just like your tourniquet you will want to train on proper use, but luckily there are tons of free training options online from tutorials to videos. for about $10 these are a no brainer for any non-urban first aid kit.

Great stuff. Knowledge not included.

Light weight, packable, functional. does what it's supposed to, so long as you know what to do with it. I've carried one of these sam splints around with me in my first aid kit for years. It's not going to magically fix you if break your arm out in the wilderness and have no first aid training, but it can be used to splint a wide variety of injuries with a little imagination and some rudimentary understanding of splinting. Otherwise it makes a good pad to sit on until the EMT's get there.

Excellent product!

These are excellent temporary splints and can be reused! I keep one in my hunting bag just in case you take a spill in the woods. I also keep one in my truck for a just in case situation. They are great for temporary install for support until you can see a doctor. I would definitely recommend to have one or two around especially for hiking, hunting, camping, skiing, etc...

Lightweight and easy to use.

Good price for a great product! Haven't had to use in a real life situation (thankfully) but have practiced with it numerous times and it's so easy to use and lightweight. numerous videos online that teach how to use the SAM splint. Great to carry in a IFAK or to add to your basic First Aid kit.

Size

Comes packaged measuring 3 1/2 inches wide by 4 1/4 inches tall. You can save some space by rolling the splint tighter making it 3 inches wide. These are 36 inch splints though. If you roll both tightly you save an inch of space in a kit
