SAM® SPLINT – ORIGINAL 36″- GRAY ROLLED

Description

Product Overview

The SAM Splint Original 36″ Gray Rolled is engineered for professionals who need a reliable, lightweight immobilization tool that performs in the toughest environments. Constructed from a thin “O” temper aluminum alloy core, the splint offers exceptional strength while remaining radiolucent, so it does not interfere with X‑ray imaging. The outer layer is a dermatologically safe, closed‑pore foam that is latex‑free, impermeable, and easy to clean with standard disinfectants. Weighing only four ounces, the splint can be rolled or folded to fit into any emergency kit, backpack, or medical bag.

Package dimensions are 4.3 x 3.5 x 3.3 inches, making it compact enough to store alongside other critical supplies. The product has been on the market since September 2009 and holds a strong reputation with a 4.7‑star rating from 20 customer reviews. It ranks #60 in the Braces & Splints sub‑category, reflecting its popularity among first‑responders and outdoor enthusiasts.

Usage

This splint is designed for a wide range of scenarios, from wilderness rescue to urban emergency response. Its waterproof construction allows use in rain, snow, or even submerged conditions, making it ideal for water rescue teams. Because the material is unaffected by extreme temperatures and altitudes, it can be deployed in desert heat, arctic cold, or high‑altitude mountain environments without loss of performance.

Medical professionals appreciate the radiolucent core, which eliminates the need to remove the splint for diagnostic imaging. The closed‑pore foam surface resists absorption of fluids, enabling quick cleaning and disinfection between patients. Whether you are stabilizing a fractured limb on a hiking trail, providing support in a combat zone, or assisting a patient in a remote clinic, the SAM Splint delivers consistent, reliable immobilization.

Can the splint be used for both upper and lower extremity injuries?

Yes, the 36‑inch length and flexible design allow it to be applied to arms, legs, ribs, and even spinal support when needed.
