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 - XL (Model ST562-EN) is an extra-large pre-formed orthopedic splint designed to immobilize forearm and wrist fractures or severe soft tissue injuries in larger patients. Its distinctive sugar-tong shape effectively prevents forearm rotation, providing superior stability compared to straight splints.
Constructed with a flexible aluminum core encased in soft, closed-cell foam, this splint combines lightweight comfort with strong support. The XL size accommodates larger limbs, ensuring proper fit and immobilization for bariatric or adult patients requiring extended coverage.
