SAM Pelvic Sling II, Orange/Blue (Standard Size, 32"-50")

The SAM Pelvic Sling II was designed not to over-tighten or under-tighten, unlike other commercial binders that allow unlimited force to be applied to the patient. Researchers at Legacy Health System utilized cadaver studies and clinical trials to determine the optimum range of force required to safely and effectively close an unstable pelvic fracture.

The SAM Pelvic Sling II features a patented AUTOSTOP buckle that will not allow a compression force greater than 33lbs. This is vital in high-stress environments where over-tightening by emergency medical personnel under duress could potentially be extreme and harmful.

Trauma surgeons around the world recognize the importance of stabilizing pelvic fractures during the critical first golden hour following severe trauma. Because of the potentially devastating hemorrhage associated with such fractures, standard first aid protocol includes applying some type of circumferential binder around the victim's hips.

The SAM Pelvic Sling II improves upon SAM Medical's original pelvic sling. It is still the only force-controlled circumferential pelvic belt scientifically proven in peer-reviewed studies to safely and effectively reduce and stabilize open-book pelvic ring fractures.

The SAM Pelvic Sling II is an improved, simpler design with no detachable hardware. It is more compact, easy to use (only three steps), quick to apply (usually in less than one minute), and is sized to fit (without cutting or trimming) 98% of the adult population. It does not require a fine touch to operate and gives clear feedback by sound and feel to confirm correct application.

The sling is durable, i.e. not affected by extremes of moisture, temperature, or by exposure to hard or sharp objects. It is also radiolucent, MRI safe, and cleans for reuse with common detergents or anti-microbial solutions.

Benefits and Features:

• Scientifically and clinically proven to provide safe and effective force to stabilize pelvic fractures
• Buckle maintains correct force; cannot be over-tightened
• Standard size fits 98% of population (Hip Circumference: 32"-50")
• Click provides clear feedback to confirm correct application
• Pulling gradually and symmetrically increases sling tension and reduces the pelvis
• Low-friction posterior slider facilitates transfers
• Front of sling is narrow and tapered to facilitate urinary catheterization, interventional radiology, external fixation and abdominal surgery
• Fabric does not stretch and cleans for reuse with standard detergents or antimicrobial solutions
• Radiolucent (allowing for X-rays without removal)
• Ease of application: just insert belt through buckle, pull strap, and secure
• Velcro on strap and sling for quick and easy fastening
• Every sling is tested for quality
