SAM® Soft Shell Splint is engineered with the same revolutionary C-Curve™ Principle as the original SAM® Splint, building strength from curves. With unrivaled flexibility, SAM® Soft Shell Splint bends into any simple arc, becoming exponentially stronger and more supportive, immobilizing sprains, strains and minimally displaced fractures.
The SAM® Sugar Tong - Pediatric (Model ST561-EN) is a specially designed pre-formed orthopedic splint tailored for immobilizing forearm and wrist fractures or soft tissue injuries in pediatric patients. Its sugar-tong shape effectively prevents forearm rotation, providing superior stabilization compared to traditional straight splints.
Constructed with a flexible aluminum core wrapped in soft, closed-cell foam, the splint is lightweight, easy to mold, and becomes rigid once shaped to the patient’s anatomy. This pediatric version is sized specifically for children, ensuring a proper fit and optimal immobilization.
