SAM Splint 36 in Roll, Blue/Orange, 36 x 4.25 in, SP506-OB-EN
The SAM Medical SP506-OB-EN is the 36 in rolled SAM Splint (orange/blue), sold as one splint: a moldable, reusable splint of closed-cell foam over an O-temper aluminum core that becomes rigid when curved.12 We supply it with the other immobilization and splinting products.
Product Highlights:
- Moldable aluminum: flat, O-temper aluminum between two layers of closed-cell foam molds by hand.1
- C-Curve rigidity: a curve along the long axis turns the flat splint rigid.13
- Cut to size: ordinary scissors; tape any cut edge.14
- Radiolucent and MR Conditional: X-rays and CT scans without removal; MR Conditional at 1.5 and 3 tesla.14
- Reusable: clean with soap and water, then disinfect in diluted bleach.4

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between rolled and folded SAM Splints on SP506-OB-EN?
Both are the 36 in, 4.25 in wide SAM Splint. The rolled configuration (SP506-OB-EN) is made in the 36 in size only; the flat fold version is SP507-OB-EN.51
What is the SP506-OB-EN SAM Splint used for?
The SAM Splint temporarily immobilizes extremities after traumatic injury. It is a non-sterile, reusable splint for the short-term prehospital setting to treat sprains, strains, contusions and fractures and to prevent further damage during transport.4
Is the SP506-OB-EN SAM Splint reusable?
Yes. Clean it with soap and water, then fully immerse it for 10 minutes in sodium hypochlorite bleach diluted to 0.625% to 0.7%, rinse with running water and dry. Discard it if the aluminum is exposed.4
Can a SAM Splint be cut on SP506-OB-EN?
Yes. The closed-cell foam and aluminum core cut with ordinary scissors; do not use a serrated blade, and cover or fold under the cut edge with tape.14
Can a SAM Splint be used on multiple bones on SP506-OB-EN?
Yes. The SAM Splint instructions illustrate applications for the finger, thumb, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm, upper leg, knee, lower leg and ankle, and the SAM Splint User Guide covers more than 15 applications.46
How does a SAM Splint become rigid on SP506-OB-EN?
Through the C-Curve principle: bending a curve along the long axis turns the soft O-temper aluminum and foam into a rigid structural arc. Reverse C-curves and T-curves add more strength.14
Are SAM splints radiolucent on SP506-OB-EN?
Yes. X-rays and CT scans can be taken without removing the splint.61
Can a patient have an MRI with a SAM Splint on (SP506-OB-EN)?
Yes, under conditions. The SAM Splint is MR Conditional: static fields of 1.5 or 3 tesla only, a spatial gradient of 10,000 gauss/cm or less and whole-body SAR of 4 W/kg for 15 minutes of scanning.4
Is the SAM Splint latex free on SP506-OB-EN?
The SAM Splint is not made with natural rubber latex.4
What is the difference between a SAM splint and a traction splint on SP506-OB-EN?
A SAM Splint is a moldable splint for fractures, sprains and soft tissue injuries across many body parts; a traction splint applies inline traction to mid-shaft femur fractures.6
What SAM Splint sizes are there on SP506-OB-EN?
Finger (4 in), 9 in, 18 in, 36 in roll, 36 in fold and 36 in XL; standard splints are 4.25 in wide and the XL is 5.5 in wide.51
