SAM Pelvic Sling II

For Stabilisation of Pelvic Fractures with the Correct Force

The SAM Pelvic Sling II was designed not to over-tighten or under-tighten, unlike other commercial binders which allow unlimited force to be applied to the patient. Researchers at Legacy Health System utilised 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’s patented Autostop buckle is programmed to stop your pull once the correct compression force has been obtained. This is vital in high stress environments where over-tightening by emergency medical personnel under duress could potentially be extreme and harmful.

Newly Improved One Piece Design

The SAM Pelvic Sling II improves upon our groundbreaking 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) and quick to apply (usually in less than one minute). The standard size fits (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 re-use with common detergents or anti-microbial solutions.

Range of sizes available:

• Small 69-114cm.
• Medium 81-127cm.
• Large 91-137cm.

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

“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
