SAM Rolled Splint 36 inch, Orange/Blue

Recently I broke my wrist while running (llama and snake incident). I was able to hike back to the trailhead with my wrist up in the air, then drive home, then screamed out what I needed to my husband who grabbed a SAM splint from my hiking pack, fashioned it to give stability plus pulled out a sling, and only then we could think about acetaminophen, calling the doctor, getting a bag of ice. I keep one of these in each of my hiking packs, never thought I'd need one while running, and I couldn't have folded it myself as I was in such pain, but it's still better to have one than not. These things are so versatile, and SO sturdy.

Best splint you can find in terms of quality and price.

The SAM Rolled Splint has proven to be an invaluable addition to my emergency preparedness kit. Measuring 36 inches, it’s long enough to be used for a variety of injuries, whether it’s a sprained wrist or a fractured leg. The splint is incredibly versatile—it can be easily molded to fit different body parts, providing strong support while remaining lightweight and compact. The orange and blue colors are not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional, making it easy to distinguish and locate in an emergency situation. I particularly appreciate how the splint is reusable and can be cut to size if needed, which adds to its overall utility. Despite its flexibility, it provides excellent stability once formed around the injury and secured with bandages or wraps. One minor consideration is that, like all splints, you’ll need to have something on hand to secure it, such as tape or bandages, but that’s standard with this type of product. And for a little humor: Why don’t splints play poker? Because they always fold! In summary, the SAM Rolled Splint is a must-have for any first aid kit, outdoor adventure gear, or emergency preparedness setup. It’s durable, easy to use, and provides reliable support when you need it most, making it an essential tool for managing injuries.

Thank goodness I haven’t had to use this splint yet, but I know how they work, and this is a quality brand — so I have no doubt it will perform exactly as it should. I keep one in my bug-out bag and another in my prepping cabinet. Living in a very rural area, it’s important to be prepared for any kind of accident since I’m quite a distance from an emergency room. Having gear like this just makes good common sense. This is definitely one of those items that belongs in every first aid kit or bug-out bag.

This is legitimate SAM splint. If you need it, now you know. If you know, I hope you never have to use it. Mine live in my bags, they make really good foundations at the bottom of a bad to keep things in place. They also keep bones in place good. Make sure you know how to use it, then keep it with you. Remember, two is one, and one is none.

I have a very physical job and work with my hands. I also have a history of minor sprains or crushed knuckles, so figured I should add this to the first aid kit. I ended up using it few months ago for a sprained pinkie knuckle. Just cut off a few inches of the roll, rounded the corners with scissors, wrapped the affected area and hand, moulded over the joint and wrapped lightly in Coban. This works well for keeping the finger pointed straight out. Problem is this product is little more than thin-gauge aluminum flashing sandwiched in foam padding. Attempting to fold at a joint creates a sharp area of higher pressure on the inside of the bend as well as a loss of rigidity. Also, depending on the mould, the sheet metal can peak out and become dangerously sharp. I folded over a smooth cuff on the wrist side but was unable to do so on the finger tip side. This sharpness and imperfect rigidity make SAM inappropriate for me as a functional rehab solution but fine as purely first aid.

SAM splint is the best for immobilize extremities with you don't have a cast close by or you are in the middle of no where. Versatil ways of use.

A must have on motorcycle trips!

La férula es de muy buena calidad. Para que cupiera en un botiquín pequeño (camping), doblé la férula en un rectángulo en lugar de dejarla enrollada. En un botiquín “táctico” entra perfecto.

Habe den Splint während meines Feuerwehrsani-Lehrgangs kennen und schätzen gelernt. Es ist zwar ein theoretisch idiotendicheres Werkzeug, man sollte sich aber zumindest mal Tips bei Profis geholt haben. Gerade für Menschen die viel und abgelegen unterwegs sind, sollte es mitgeführt werden.

Llegó en excelentes condiciones, material de calidad, cumple con su funciones

Sehr gut

Ich war in 3 Apotheken und alle hatten diese Schiene für Notfälle nicht und kannte sie auch nicht. Dabei ist das Ding einfach genial und super leicht. Für unterwegs, zum schnellen Schienen von verstauchten oder gar gebrochenen Armen und Beinen gibt es meines erachtens nicht besseres. Der Nachteil das es vom Volumen nicht in das erste Hilfe Päckchen passt kann ich gerne verkraften. Zu empfehlen für alle die mit Gruppen von Kindern oder Halbstarke Ausflüge machen. Da kann immer mal was passieren und da ist man froh wenn man so etwas dabei hat.
