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 - Adult (Model ST560-EN) is a pre-formed orthopedic splint specifically designed to immobilize forearm and wrist fractures or severe soft tissue injuries. Its unique sugar-tong shape prevents forearm rotation, offering superior stabilization compared to straight splints.
Constructed with a flexible aluminum core enclosed in soft, closed-cell foam, the SAM® Sugar Tong combines lightweight comfort with firm support. It is easy to apply, conforms to the patient’s anatomy, and becomes rigid when shaped, making it ideal for pre-hospital care, EMS, and emergency room use.
