SAM Splint Towel Covered Fracture Fixation Splint (Sam Soft Shell splint), unlike other splints, provides long-term use and eliminates negativities such as irritation and / or odour that may occur on the skin. It is a more economical, practical, light and safe splint type compared to existing materials. Soft Shell is radiolucent, washable and easily shaped, allowing different hardness levels to be applied. When opened, it is extremely soft and pliable. When formed into one of the 3 basic folds, it becomes exceptionally strong to support the injured, bruised and/or fractured area..

The whole logic: is in the inclined plane in physics. The same logic allowed skyscrapers and bridges to be built of beams and hollow columns instead of heavy steel columns. A flat thin metal surface can be easily bent and becomes extremely hard when one of the structural bends is applied. There are many such bends. The 3 basic crimping methods applied to the Sam Soft Shell provide a strong, long lasting and reliable splint.

Conclusion: We can splint all the bones in the hands, arms and legs of the body by selecting the appropriate one of the folds summarised in the training booklet..
