SAM Rolled Splint 36, Orange/Blue

This is a very straight forward product. it is exactly as advertised. a little larger than expected; about the size of a soda can.

I purchased this for my First Aid kit. Very versatile, and should I ever need it, I will be glad I bought it. There are a bunch of videos you can watch on YouTube to see the different ways that you can use the splint, and I recommend that anyone who buys this product watch the vids to be as prepared as possible.

Just as awesome as the ones I used on the ambulance.

I love it.

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.

Never go hiking without one.

The splint comes as described, luckily I havent had the opportunity to use it. This sentence is filler per word count requirement.

Perfect

Everything was exactly as advertized.

Used this in my dog first aid kit. Great if you have hunting dogs.
