The Small SAM® Pelvic Sling II is expertly developed to provide a secure and reliable solution for stabilising pelvic fractures in smaller adults. Backed by comprehensive research and clinical tests conducted by Legacy Health System, this sling guarantees the precise application of force for the safe management of unstable pelvic injuries.
Like its larger counterparts, the Small SAM® Pelvic Sling II features the patented Autostop buckle, a critical component in emergency scenarios. This mechanism is crucial for preventing overtightening, as it halts when the ideal level of compression is achieved, thereby avoiding any additional harm from excessive force.
Highly regarded by trauma surgeons across the globe, the Small SAM® Pelvic Sling II is essential in the crucial first hour after severe trauma. Considering the severe risk of haemorrhage from pelvic fractures, its prompt and efficient application is integral to standard first aid practices.
The Small SAM® Pelvic Sling II is designed for flexible application in diverse emergency medical contexts. It is highly effective when applied by paramedics in the field, offering vital support immediately following an incident and during transport to the hospital. This makes it an essential tool in pre-hospital emergency care for smaller adults.
In hospital settings, the Small SAM® Pelvic Sling II is equally beneficial. It can be used efficiently by physicians and nurses in emergency departments to provide prompt stabilisation for patients with pelvic fractures. Its design ensures it can be quickly and effectively applied in these high-pressure environments.
It is crucial to note that the Small SAM® Pelvic Sling II is intended for short-term stabilisation in urgent situations. Its application is a critical step in the initial management of pelvic injuries, aimed at providing immediate stabilisation before long-term treatment options are considered.

1. Positioning the Binder: Place the SAM Pelvic Sling II over the upper femurs, precisely covering the greater trochanters. This is the ideal position for reducing diastasis symphysis pubis. Confirm the effective placement of the binder through a CT scan.
2. Applying Optimal Force: Achieve the required 150N of circumferential pressure. This force extends prongs from the AUTOSTOP Buckle through the Precision Strap, indicating the correct application.
3. MRI Compatibility: The SAM Pelvic Sling II is MR Conditional. It can be safely used in an MR system under the following conditions:
4. Tension Adjustment: Gently and symmetrically pull to increase sling tension and effectively reduce the pelvis. The low-friction posterior slider assists in patient transfers.
5. Fastening the Sling: Insert the belt through the buckle, pull the strap, and secure it. The sling features Velcro for quick and easy fastening.
6. Audible and Tactile Feedback: The SAM® AUTOSTOP Buckle provides a tactile and audible “click” to confirm proper application and to prevent over-tightening while maintaining optimal force.

The development of the Large SAM® Pelvic Sling II stems from practical need, similar to the origins of the SAM® Splint. It was designed by Dr. Sam Scheinberg, a trauma surgeon whose experiences during the Vietnam War and later on the Oregon Coast showed how vital reliable medical equipment is in demanding situations.
The SAM® Pelvic Sling II reflects this focus on practicality and effectiveness. Built on SAM Medical’s background in emergency care, it was created to offer a dependable solution for stabilising pelvic fractures in the field—consistent with Dr. Scheinberg’s commitment to useful, no-nonsense tools for medical professionals.
