Splints

The SAM® Splint is built from a thin core of aluminum alloy, sandwiched between two layers of closed-cell foam. The SAM® Splint is extremely pliable. Bent into any of three simple curves, it becomes extremely strong and supportive for any fractured or injured limb. The SAM® Splint is extremely moldable, and soft enough to cut with ordinary household scissors. The result: with the proper choice of curves outlined in the training guide, almost any bone in the body can be splinted.

Designed for really messy trauma calls, or those situations when equipment retrieval is difficult, the Hartwell Medical FASPLINT® provides optimum immobilization at a very affordable price.

This semi-disposable vacuum splint provides secure immobilization without circumferential pressure, eliminating the potential for tissue, vessel, and nerve damage. Unlike air and board splints, the FASPLINT molds to the contours of the patient’s injury, using vacuum technology just like the EVAC-U-SPLINT® Extremity Splints, so even difficult fractures and dislocations can be stabilized easily and quickly with a level of comfort that is unmatched by any other splinting technology. Simply grab your vacuum splint, place it around the injured area, evacuate the air, and you're done!

Features:

• Molds to exact shape of injury site without applying circumferential pressure
• Reduces nerve, tissue and vessel damage
• Can be evacuated using the same EVAC-U-SPLINT manual pump with a tapered adapter tip or a portable suction unit
• If a FASPLINT is lost, flies away on a helicopter, or is too soiled to be used again, the replacement cost is minimal
• Can be used for leg fractures, dislocated shoulders, knee injuries, wrist fractures, infant and pediatric immobilization, hip support, padding under the knees, temporary cervical support, and much more
• FASPLINT stands for:
  • Fast application reduces on-scene time
  • Ability to conform to each patient
  • Stabilizes injury without unnecessary pressure
  • Pliable material performs in cold weather
  • Low cost makes it disposable when necessary
  • Instructional pictograms for each use
  • Non-magnetic valve is x-ray and MRI compatible

The Curaplex® Traction Splint effectively realigns a fractured femur to proper position, reducing pain, restoring profusion and inhibiting vascular, nerve, bone and muscle damage.

The Slishman Traction Splint (STS) boasts a red toggle at the end of the shorter traction cord for better grip. The STS's improved labeling and superior red color coding enable quicker patient femur fracture stabilization and application.

• The STS does not extend beyond the foot-the compact design of the STS won't jam up against ambulance doors or prevent you from placing patients into aircraft. When extricating or hoisting the splint stays safely contained within the board, litter or basket. No risk of striking the splint resulting in further injury or pain to the patient
• Rapid Patient Application in Under 60 Seconds-The unique design of the STS makes it the fastest splint to apply. No poles to assemble or mechanisms to set up. No long transport delays. Four step application process in rapid and easy
• The STS is not contraindicated in lower leg injury or Amputation while other traction splints are contraindicated with lower leg injury or amputation, the STS’s unique design allows the ankle strap to be alternately positioned proximal to the calf. This allows femur traction to still be applied and leaves the lower leg accessible for other splinting or bandaging
• Lightweight and compact - it takes up little space in vehicles or aircraft and can easily be strapped to jump bags and backpacks
• One size fits all the STS works with both adults and peds. No need to carry two different splints. If your agency requires you to carry two traction splints, two STS splints can be carried for bi-lateral splinting of peds and adults
• Traction mechanism accessible during transport-If traction adjustment is needed while enroute, the STS traction adjustment is accessible at the patient’s hip, not jammed up against the door or airframe at the patient's foot. You can easily and quickly adjust traction for maximum patient comfort
• Radiolucent - The STS is radiolucent and will not interfere with patient imaging or exam. No need to remove the splint. The STS can stay on a patient all the way to surgery

The STS embodies significant improvements to traction splinting:

• No extension past the foot
• Quickly adjusts to patient
• Easily applied during manual traction
• Not contraindicated for lower leg injury or amputation
