The 3 Basic Bends
Without any bends, the SAM® Splint is completely malleable, to be shaped however the user desires. When you make a curve or fold anywhere across its longitudinal axis, it becomes rigid and suitable for splinting. With the following 3 bends; C-Curve, Reverse C-Curve and T-Curve, the strength and rigidity allow any bone to splinted appropriately.
C-Curve - Strong
This curve immediately adds strength and rigidity to the splint. It can be done by placing your thumbs in the centre as a place and pulling in the edges to create a shallow C.
Reverse C-Curve - Stronger
Created by firstly making the C-Curve, then bending back both edges in a reverse direction to add additional strength.
T-Curve - Strongest
Fold the splint in half lengthways then bend half of each side back in the opposite direction to create a 'T' shaped beam. Bending the splint this way adds exceptional strength to the splint.
What's the difference between the SAM® Splint 36" Roll and the SAM® Splint 36" Standard Flatfold?
The SAM® Splint 36" Roll and the SAM® Splint 36" Standard Flatfold are two forms of the same versatile splinting material designed to stabilise and immobilise injuries, the flatfold being slightly wider than the roll Here are the differences:
Form Factor
SAM® Splint 36" Roll: As the name suggests, this splint comes in a rolled format. This makes it more compact and can be easier to store in cylindrical or narrow spaces like emergency bags, backpacks, or within cylindrical compartments in medical kits.
SAM® Splint 36" Standard Flatfold: This version is folded flat. It may be more convenient for storage in places where a flat or slim profile is preferred, like shelves, drawers, or flat emergency kits.
Deployment
SAM® Splint 36" Roll: The rolled splint may require unrolling before it can be used, which might add a few seconds to the application process.
SAM® Splint 36" Standard Flatfold: The flatfold is ready to be used without the need to unroll it, potentially offering quicker access and deployment.
Convenience
SAM® Splint 36" Roll: The rolled form may be more suitable for situations where space is a premium, and the ability to stash it in between other items is beneficial.
SAM® Splint 36" Standard Flatfold: The flatfold might be easier to quickly grab and apply since it lies flat and can be more easily slid out from a stack of medical supplies.
