Extraction Procedure:

1

After clearing obstruction with Jaws of Life; position of splint in preparation for extraction splinting of limb in position found.

2

If ankle is unstable, SAM SPLINTS can be used to immobilize with figure-of-eight strap.

SAM SPLINTS:

a

(The C-Curve): Curve the SAM Splint length-wise to create a longitudinal bend which gives the splint strength.

b

(The Reverse C-Curve); Curve the outside edges in the opposite direction to make it even stronger.

c

(The T-Curve): Double the SAM Splint or create a T-Bend for extra strength.

Straight Leg Knee Injury:

1

When splinting with Sager Emergency Fracture Response System (SEFRS) create a 6-10 degree valgus and lock into place on the distal half of the Splint.

2

This Tensor Cravat should be added

distal to the head of the Fibula.

Normal 6-degrees valgus of the tibia/fibula at the knee joint.

Bent Knee In jury:

1

Anterior position of Splint for bent knee injuries.

2

Place Tensor Cravats as shown.
Knee immobilized.

A Traction splint is contraindicated in any knee injury. Proper leg splinting: Injuries at the knee should be splinted in position found.Attempt to straighten a bent knee is only indicated if pulses are absent and leg straightening is done without pain or resistance to movement.

Fracture Dislocation of the Knee:

1

Splint position for fracture dislocation knee injury.

2

Place Tensor Cravats as shown. Knee immobilized.

Ankle Injury:

1

Splint position for ankle injury.

2

Place Tensor Cravats as shown.
Knee immobilized.

Dislocated Shoulder:

1

Dislocation of shoulder splinted in position found.

2

Arm is immobilized.

Forearm Injury:

1

Anterior view forearm injury.

2

Splinted forearm.

Fractured Elbow:

Distal pad can be rotated to fit in palm of the hand.

1

Splint position for fractured elbow.

2

Immobilized fractured elbow.

Elbow Injury:

1

Elbow injury in position found and splinted.

Fractured Wrist, Forearm
or Elbow:

2

Immobilized wrist, forearm or elbow.
