TSSI TACOPS™ M-9 Assault Medical Ranger Green

UNIVERSAL FLEXIBILITY

Touting unrivaled flexibility, SAM® Splint bends into any simple curve, becoming exponentially stronger and more supportive. SAM® Splint is globally acclaimed by emergency care providers, outdoor enthusiasts, the U.S. military, and even NASA.

STRENGTH IN CURVES

SAM® Splint leverages the revolutionary C-Curve™ Principle to mold its foam and aluminum layers into structural arcs, strong enough for pre- or post-cast care, while remaining lighter and more transportable than traditional splints that rely on heavy, rigid materials. Bend it back into its original form to stow away or remold for a separate injury.

ENGINEERED FOR VERSATILE SUPPORT

SAM® Splint is lightweight, flexible, and requires only wrap or tape to provide the necessary strength to support any fractured or injured limb.

MOLDABLE ALUMINUM

Flat O-temper aluminium inside the splint’s outer layers bends easily, allowing for a spectrum of applications.

CLEANABLE EXTERIOR

Exterior closed-pore foam can be cleaned and disinfected with bleach and water for reuse.

WEATHER RESISTANT

Designed to function across the spectrum of global temperatures, from the Sahara to Mt. Everest.

LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

Substantially lighter than plaster or fiberglass splints, SAM® Splint requires only a wrap or tape to secure an injured bone or stabilize a joint.

CAT tourniquet was invented by CAT Resources, owned by Composite Resources. It was tested along with eight other tourniquets in 2004 at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio, Texas. The evaluation was prompted because many deploying Soldiers and units were purchasing tourniquets off the Internet, but the tourniquets’ effectiveness had not been determined. Once testing was complete, the institute’s researchers recommended the Combat Application Tourniquet be pushed to deployed troops to stop otherwise lethal blood loss.

Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma

The patented C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The C-A-T® utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T®’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) featuring the mechanical advantage of a band within a band has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005. The innovations in the C-A-T® are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.
