SAM Splint

This is a very versatile splint with dozens of applications and easy to use to help immobilize bones and soft tissue injuries. It is also re-useable which adds to its value. Since all motorcycle injuries will have some form of bone or soft tissue injury, this is a must have.

Name origin:

Sam Scheinberg, who served as a trauma surgeon during the Vietnam War. He came up with the idea for the SAM Splint while he was playing with the silver wrapper from a stick of gum. Adapting the wrapper's ability to be shaped and made into a curve, he came up with the structural aluminum malleable (SAM) splint.
