A couple of these belong in every trauma kit, from private citizen to professional. Training is equally essential, but they're actually pretty hard to screw up.

I love how the instructions for treating multiple types of breaks and strains are shown right on the splint!

This item saved my Rottweiler from some pain for his last week of life :( He had bone cancer and his leg was on the verge of breaking. Besides the one bone, he was in great spirits and we needed something to help keep him comfortable until it was time to say goodbye. This splint was amazing and exactly what we needed. It formed right around his leg and then we wrapped an ace bandage around to keep it in place. We tried a few other options of dog splints and none of those came close to doing what this did for him. The support/strength is excellent and it’s padded just enough to provide comfort. I recommend this splint as a temporary fix for support on injured limbs.

If youre like me and spend alot of times hiking in the wilderness or even just like the touristy trails I recommend packing one or two of these. I broke my foot almost 5 years ago and would've killed to have had one of these in my kit at the time. Two years later I was in the Smokies and a woman broke her fibula(same as my break) I was glad to be carrying one and we got her fixed up and back down the mountain. Well made and serves many injuries.

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.

Perfect for hubby’s Emergency Kit when he hikes!

It's great

I started carrying a 36 SAM splint folded flat in my hydration pack while mountain biking. Today I had a student athlete fall and fracture his wrist. In addition to the SAM splint I was carrying and t-shirt roll for wrapping the splint. The SAM was so easy and fast to deploy and custom form it was amazing. I can't imagine trying to fashion a splint trailside out of sticks or bicycle pumps this morning. The speed and ease of use helped the injured rider feel secure and calm down quickly which is hard to put a value on. I purchased this after taking a wilderness first aid class where we used the SAM splints in several scenarios. So easy to carry and so easy to use! I just ordered a few more.

It seems it would do the job it is intended for.

Compact, sturdy, plenty of length. It's perfect.

Best splint I've been able to find.

It is easy to use and immobilize an arm after an injury. It can be folded and molded to fit the area nicely.

I highly recommend these in all of my first aid classes to immobilize limbs. These are a must for child care centers, parents, etc.!

Amazingly stiff and lightweight. Throw it in the bottom of my crag bag and forget about it. Hoping I never have to use it but glad it’s down there in the bag

good product

This is a brilliant solution for a compact splint. When a splint was needed before, we couldn't find anything suitable and people got a little panicky. (If)when this is needed, we'll know what to use. How-to illustrations are printed right on it. A little stretch wrap or duct tape and you're ready to transport.

Fortunately, I've never had to use one for real, but these have an excellent track record, and they have worked great for first aid training classes. Highly recommended to have one around in case of emergencies.

looks like good quality material.

great size. arm and leg use
