SAM SPLINT - 18" JUNIOR - Orange/Blue

SAM Splint, aka "The Pocket Cast" is offered in this "Junior" size for smaller individuals or for situations where a smaller device is preferred, such as stabilizing a sprain or minor fracture to the wrist. The SAM Junior/18" offer the same lightness, strength and radiolucence as all the SAM Splint models. Acclaimed by emergency care providers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide (and even beyond the Earth, on NASA space shuttles), the SAM® SPLINT is based on an ancient construction principle: curves are strong. Old-style splints derive their strength from the materials from which they are constructed: metal, wood, plaster, etc. Unfortunately, that means that to be strong, they have to be heavy, bulky, and not easily adjustable to a wide variety of needs. The SAM Splint is built from a thin core of aluminum alloy, sandwiched between two layers of closed-cell foam. Freshly unrolled from storage, the splint is extremely pliable. Bent into any of three simple curves, it becomes extremely strong and supportive for any fractured or injured limb. The core of the SAM Splint is a long rectangle of "O" temper, ultra-thin aluminum alloy. The covering layers are made of dermatologically safe closed-pore foam. The SAM Splint is 4.25" wide and comes in pre-packaged lengths of 36 inches, 18 inches, 9 inches for splinting everything from a child's arm to a basketball player's leg. They are also available as a finger splint which measures 3.75" x 1.75".
