Sam Splints Are Great For Everyday Emergencies, Outdoor Activities & For Doomsday Preppers The SAM Splint is a high quality emergency splint that can be used in everyday situations like hiking, mountain climbing, camping, boating, four wheeling, sports and automobile accidents to immobilize broken bones and injured limbs. These splints are especially important if you or a friend has an unfortunate accident resulting in fractures or related injuries / sprains and you are in the wilderness and medical care is miles away. This medical device makes an exceptional preparation for Doomsday preppers and a long term survival scenario. See the instructional videos below for demonstrations of how to use a SAM Splint in many different applications. Why you might need itThe SAM Splint is the gold standard in splints. These splints are lightweight, portable, compact, washable, reusable and are very versatile splints designed for immobilizing bone and soft tissue injuries in an emergency situation. The SAM Splint consists of .016 inch thick strips of soft aluminum that is coated with polyethylene closed-cell foam. It makes the ideal portable splint for preppers, hikers, and any outdoor sports. For some fractures such as immobilizing the knee, two SAM Splints are required, so it is recommended to have a minimum of two SAM Splints. The Sam Splint Combo Pack is a great value as it includes two 36" SAM Splints and two 3" rolls of Blue Cohesive Wrap. Cohesive wrap sticks to itself and does not stick to skin or hair. This makes it the ideal wrap for holding SAM Splints in place. SAM Splints can even be used on pets to immobilize their injuries. The SAM Splint is extremely moldable, is soft enough to cut with ordinary household scissors, and can be used to splint every bone in the human body. Sam Splint Products

Sample Amazon Feedback"The perfect all around splint for any first aid kit."
"I just completed a Wilderness Survival First Aid kit taught by a Sheriff & EMT and he couldn't say enough good things about these versatile splints. I like the 2 pack bought here on Amazon as they come with the clip-less wraps also. Great price too." "These are very handy to have around. A definite must-have for any EMT@home kit or anyone who plans ahead for first aid. My wife (who is a doctor) saw these and immediately saw their potential use. I'm just a backpacking buff and plan for the worst." "I have several of these in my car kit as well as my home and CERT kits. Nice addition to any trauma kit."
"In excellent condition and easy to carry around. The splints were in excellent condition. I haven't used them yet but my sister who is an EMT says they are very good splints to have."
"I've used these in the past on People, I am really hoping to never need to use them on myself. For a back woods first aid kit they will more than do the job. I am very pleased with them."
"A must have item for any serious sports first-aid kit. You never know when you will need them."
"Love these! I help with a wilderness training class and the students get to see them first hand. One had the hardest time giving it back to me. A must for any first aid kit."
