SAM Splint

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. At the same time, the SAM Splint is extremely moldable, and soft enough to cut with ordinary household scissors. The result: with the proper choice of curves outlined in the training guide, almost any bone in the body can be splinted. It's even possible to use the SAM Splint to create an emergency cervical collar for neck injuries.

To pack the XL SAM splint in cave we have either replaced our Swaygo foam with a SAM splint, or wrapped the splint around a daren drum when using round-style pack like Landjoff.
