SAM Splint II mit kohäsivem Verband

What is included in the SAM Splint II with Cohesive Wrap package?

The package includes one SAM Splint II (36 inches unfolded, 4.25 inches wide) and one cohesive elastic wrap for securing the molded splint in place. This provides a complete, self-contained splinting solution without requiring additional bandaging material from the kit.

How does cohesive wrap differ from regular elastic bandage?

Cohesive wrap bonds to itself rather than adhering to skin or hair, so it stays securely in place without pins, clips, or tape but removes cleanly without pulling hair or causing skin irritation. For field splinting, this means faster application, better conformity to the shaped SAM Splint II, and simpler removal during patient reassessment.

Is the SAM Splint II with Cohesive Wrap the same quality as the standard SAM Splint II?

Yes. The SAM Splint II in this kit is identical to the stand-alone version (MEDTAC1046) — same aluminum-core construction, same C-Curve™ principle, same 36-inch length, same NSN (6515-01-494-1951), and same military specifications. The only addition is the cohesive wrap included in the package.

Can the SAM Splint II with Cohesive Wrap fit in a standard IFAK?

Yes. In its packaged configuration (9.25 × 4.25 × 1 inch), the SAM Splint II with Cohesive Wrap is designed for IFAK and aid bag carry. Its folded profile is the same as the standard SAM Splint II, making it a direct upgrade for kits that currently load only the splint without the securing wrap.

Is the cohesive wrap in this kit single-use?

The cohesive wrap is a single-use component — once applied, it should be replaced. The SAM Splint II itself is reusable, cleanable, and remoldable after the first use. Replacement cohesive wraps are widely available and can be stocked separately to restore the kit configuration after use.
