SAM Rolled Splint 36, Orange/Blue

This is wonderful!!!! I was able to easily cut it into smaller individual splints to wear on my trigger fingers at night. I used these little elastic sports finger sleeves to keep them in place. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052IO39E/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_12 .

Very useful. Easy to use. Have it in my first aid kit.

Used this in the military and it is so incredibly well made. Definitely a nessesity if you have a first aid kit. I am a rock climber and the most likely injury are broken bones during a fall. This is invaluble in a ground fall situation where broken bones are likely.

Great product to keep handy in your first aid kit. I like that it is versatile for different types of fractures.

Needed supplies for our first aid kit! Looks great, came exactly as described! Hope it will never get used, but it’s a nice peace of mind to have on hand. I watched the YouTube videos to learn to use it, those are very helpful!

Using this to stock a portable First Aid Kit (small EMT bag) that can go to The Office, The Barn, soccer games, picnics-everywhere. I like knowing that if Im home or out being active, I can send someone to get the First Aid Kit-its pretty well stocked for all types of emergencies, until medical help arrives, if need be. This SAM Splint will be a great addition. I hope I never need to use this.

Great product

Those unfamiliar with SAM splints should know these are strips of thin aluminum coated with a plasticized material for comfort. They can be bent or cut to fit the shape of the injury. They are reusable, depending on the situation. Every medic bag should have a SAM splint. You can secure it with adhesive tape or a cravat. We carry them in the first-in bags where I work as an EMT. It is an essential piece of equipment so that in an emergency youre not fiddling around looking for something to use as a splint.

The aluminum is too soft or thin for it to hold a finger straight, for example. Cant imagine how this would hold any larger bone or limb very immobile or maintain a position against resistance.

Best thing to have
