SAM Rolled Splint 36, Orange/Blue

I am a first responder as a member of a National Ski Patrol. This is a great product because it is so small and fits into our first aid packs. I added this to my pack recently when I had to replace my old first aid kit. These are great for splinting arms and wrists. Chris Wodke Author: Running for My Life-Winning for CMt

A couple years ago some friends and I were out riding ATVs in the Alaska back country. We were in a very thorny area on a narrow trail and so we were just crawling along, and in a freak accident when my friend in front of me rode over a small fallen tree that was laying across the trail, it snapped and popped up and hit her in the lower leg so hard that it broke both bones clean in half. My friends husband only had zip ties and was looking for some sticks to splint her leg, but I had a SAM splint and duct tape. We used the SAM splint to support her leg and the duct tape to wrap around the splint and her leg. The splint provided enough support that she rode out herself slowly instead of us having to call for a rescue. IMO everyone should carry a SAM splint in their medical kit.

Keep it in my emergency response pack.

When I ran rescue some folks carried these splints. Very useful. Fast forward to last week paddling an 11mile kayak and canoe trip. One wrong move and one of our group sprained a wrist. This would have been great to have. Now I do. Hope I dont need it but good to have.

Light weight yet strong. Great for a hiking emergency pack.

It is as advertised. I hope I never need to use it. Easy to use with tape or bandages.

These things are great

Great product, fast shipping.

For a bug out bag, i havent had to use but looks good and hopefully they just stay in a backpack for many years to come

had one years ago. Left it in the Philippines for brother-in-law to use they work great. carried in my first aid kit all over the world
