The Sam Sling is a non-invasive, easy-to-use, single-use device which can be applied by Paramedics at an accident scene to individuals who have, or are suspected of having, a pelvic ring or lateral pelvic fracture.
The Sam Sling effectively reduces and stabilizes unstable pelvic fractures. It can be quickly and safely applied on the scene, before transport, or in an emergency department.
The Sam Sling is the first and only pelvic belt or binder to contain a buckle that is programmed to engage when the correct, safe amount of pressure is applied. This protects the patient from further injury and allows for safe application at the scene by ordinary EMS personnel.
The Sam Sling has been researched and clinically proven to be effective on a range of subjects weighing 132-229 lbs. (80-140 kg.). It is not recommended for children.
