1.8"x3.75" Finger Splint, Reusable, Waterproof, 10 Per Pack THE GOLD STANDARD IN SPLINTING MALLEABLE ALUMINUM CORE The SAM® Splint contains a soft, "œO" temper aluminum core allowing the splint to be quickly molded into a variety of shapes. In addition, the soft aluminum can be easily trimmed to size. SOFT FOAM The outer layers of the splint are made of a waterproof, closed cell, hypoallergenic foam. The SAM® Splint can be cleaned and re-used. C-CURVE TECHNOLOGY The SAM® Splint in it's original state is completely malleable. When a curve is applied across the longitudinal axis, it becomes rigid and suitable for splinting almost any bone in the body. RADIOLUCENT The SAM® Splint is radiolucent, and does not have to be removed for X-rays. FINGER / FINGERTIP GUARD INSTRUCTIONS 01 To create a simple finger splint or fingertip guard, first form a SAM® Finger Splint into the C-Curve. 02 Place the finger in the curved surface of the splint. Squeeze the end of the splint to create a fingertip guard. 03 Secure with your wrap of choice. ***See image for visual demonstration of SAM finger splint use. TECH SPECS PACKAGED SIZE & WEIGHT Length: 3.75 in (9.5 cm) Width: 1.8 in (4.5 cm) Weight: 0.2 oz (5.7 g) OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS C-Curve Technology THE STANDARD FOR 25 YEARS 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. 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. HOW THE SAM SPLINT WORKS The 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. Also available is the SAM Splint XL at 5.5" wide, for improved support and immobilization of larger individuals.
