Ingenious, durable, and versatile vacuum splints for the stabilisation and support of various limb injuries.

How to use a SAM Splint
STEP 1
Select the most suitable size of SAM Splint for the size of the patient's limb. Create a ‘C-Curve’ shape out of the splint, so that the wrist and forearm can rest in it comfortably.
STEP 2
Using your own arm as the guide, mould the SAM Splint to the underside (or little finger) side of your hand, wrist and forearm to create the required shape.
STEP 3
Apply the SAM Splint to the casualty’s arm and wrist. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure it’s comfortable and secure.
STEP 4
Fix the SAM Splint in place firmly but not too tightly with a wrap of choice (a cohesive bandage or crepe bandage is ideal).
