STRENGTH IN CURVES.
SAM® Splint leverages the revolutionary C-Curve Principle to mold its foam and aluminium layers into structural arcs, strong enough for pre-cast or post-cast care, while remaining lighter and more transportable than traditional splints that rely on heavy, rigid materials. Bend it back into its original form to stow away or remold for a separate injury.
CUT-TO-SIZE.
SAM® Splint has two layers of closed-cell foam and its aluminium interior can be cut with ordinary scissors to adapt to any size requirements.
ENGINEERED FOR VERSATILE SUPPORT.
Apply the SAM® Splint in 4 steps:
SHAPE.
1. MOLDABLE ALUMINUM - Flat, O-temper aluminium inside the splint’s outer layers molds easily, allowing for a wide spectrum of applications. OR CUT TO SHAPE: SAM® Splint’s two layers of closed-cell foam and its aluminium interior can be cut with ordinary scissors to adapt to any size requirements.
SET.
2. ENGINEERED FOR VERSATILE SUPPORT - Strong enough for pre-cast or post-cast care, while remaining lighter and more transportable than traditional splints. Bend it back into its original form to stow away or remold for a separate injury.
SECURE.
3. LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN - Substantially lighter than plaster or fiberglass splints, SAM® Splint requires only a wrap or tape to secure an injured bone or stabilize a joint.
UNRIVIALED STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY.
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.
