Product Description
-------------------
Sawyer's first aid pack of SAM splints is a complete solution
for your emergency first aid or disaster kit that helps protect
and immobilize injured extremities including fingers, wrists,
arms and legs. The lightweight 4 ounce, compact and easy to
transport protection pack includes one 36-inch long original SAM
splint, two SAM finger splints, one gauze roll, tape strips, and
an instructional DVD. Built from a thin core of aluminum alloy
and sandwiched between two layers of closed-cell foam, the SAM
splint bends into any of three simple curves to give the splint
strength to immobilize a fractured or injured limb. The SAM
splint is extremely moldable and soft enough to cut with ordinary
household scissors. The splint can remain in place on an injured
extremity during X-rays thanks to the radiolucent materials used
in its construction. The waterproof splints are easy to clean and
re-shapeable for multiple reuses.Since 1984, Sawyer has used
technological advancements to create products that keep you
outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard.

Don't Let an Injury Ruin Your Next Outing
-----------------------------------------
The SAM Splint is built from a thin core of soft aluminum alloy
sandwiched between two layers of closed cell foam. Bent into a
simple curve, it becomes extremely strong and supportive for any
injured limb. The SAM Splint is lightweight: transportable and
easy to pack and carry (4oz), Flexible in application: One device
immobilizes nearly any in the body, affixes with any tape or
wrap. Reusable: Wipes clean and is easily re-shapeable for
another application.
How THE SAM Splint Works
------------------------
The SAM Splint is based on an ancient construction principle:
curves are strong. The same physics that allows skyscrapers and
bridges to be built of I-beams and hollow columns rather than
heavy steel pillars makes the SAM Splint strong. A flat piece of
sheet metal bends easily, but if you mold it into any of several
"structural curves," it becomes much more rigid. Many such curves
are possible, but for Splinting with the SAM Splint, you need
only three basic curves, which are explained in the included DVD.
