PRODUCT INFORMATION

SAM Medical · Splint

Soft Shell SAM® Splint — 15 in

A 4.25 in × 15 in moldable splint built on an "O" temper aluminum core — the softest temper SAM publishes, so it bends into shape with less force — under a brushed terrycloth cover rather than closed-cell foam. Sized for hand, wrist and forearm. Radiolucent, washable, remoldable, with one firm end and one extra-firm end.

Comfort is a clinical variable on a splint that stays on for hours of transport — a cover that absorbs moisture is not a luxury feature at the four-hour mark.

▾Specifications

Soft Shell SAM® Splint 15 in — specifications

Specification	Detail
Manufacturer	SAM Medical
SKU	SS544-EN
Dimensions	4.25 in × 15 in
Core material	"O" temper aluminum — softer than the standard SAM Splint II core, molds with less applied force
Cover	Brushed absorbent terrycloth (rather than the closed-cell foam used on the standard SAM Splint II)
Structural principle	C-Curve™ — the sheet gains rigidity once bent into an arc and holds the molded configuration under wear
Stiffness profile	Graduated — one firm end and one extra-firm end, so the stiffer end can be positioned where most resistance to motion is wanted
Stated applications	Hand, wrist and forearm immobilization; sprains, strains and fractures
Radiolucent	Yes — X-ray transparent, imaging without removing the splint
Trimmable	Manufacturer states it can be cut with ordinary scissors to shorten it for a smaller limb segment
Reuse	Washable and remoldable multiple times
Sterility	Not a sterile device — it is a non-invasive external immobilizer
Clinical evaluation	evidence-based publishes no brand recommendation for splints, and none attaches to this product

Deciding whether a limb needs splinting, in what position, and whether circulation, sensation and motor function must be checked before and after, is a clinical judgment governed by your training and local protocol.

▾Who Carries It

EMS, fire rescue and clinic providers managing wrist, carpal and forearm injuries where the splint stays on for hours of transport or waiting · Wilderness, expedition and SAR medics, where a single remoldable sheet replaces several fixed-size splints and can be cut down in the field · Athletic trainers and event medical teams handling sprains and suspected distal radius injuries · Kit builders wanting the comfort-focused version of the SAM platform rather than the standard foam-covered Splint II.

Splinting is within the scope of most first-responder and EMS training. Reduction, definitive management and the decision to image remain clinical decisions for the treating clinician.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is different about the Soft Shell SAM Splint compared to the standard SAM Splint II?

The Soft Shell SAM Splint features a brushed terrycloth fabric cover instead of standard closed-cell foam and uses 'O' temper (softer) aluminum, making it easier to mold and more comfortable for extended wear. It is sized at 15 inches — optimized for wrist, hand, and forearm use — rather than the 36-inch military splint format. The Soft Shell is preferred for patients who will wear the splint for extended periods during transport.

What injuries is the Soft Shell SAM Splint 15" best suited for?

The 15-inch Soft Shell SAM Splint is designed for wrist fractures, carpal injuries, forearm contusions, sprains, and minimally displaced distal radius fractures. Its 4.25-inch width provides appropriate coverage for adult wrist and forearm anatomy, and it can be trimmed for pediatric use.

Is the Soft Shell SAM Splint washable and reusable?

Yes. The terrycloth fabric cover is washable, and the splint can be remolded and reused multiple times. In clinical settings where infection control is managed, the washability of the cover makes the Soft Shell SAM Splint suitable for repeated use after appropriate laundering.

Can the Soft Shell SAM Splint be used in field or tactical settings?

Yes. Despite its 'soft shell' designation, the Soft Shell SAM Splint uses the same C-Curve™ aluminum-core structural principle as the standard SAM Splint II. When properly shaped, it provides reliable immobilization in field environments. Its lighter weight and smaller profile make it an appropriate addition to medical aid bags and individual first aid kits focused on upper extremity injury management.

Does the Soft Shell SAM Splint 15" have firm and extra-firm sections?

Yes. The Soft Shell SAM Splint features graduated stiffness — firm and extra-firm ends allow the provider to orient the splint so the stiffest section reinforces the fracture or injury site while the more flexible end adapts to adjacent anatomy. This engineering feature is unique to the Soft Shell design and provides additional immobilization control during application.
