Pelvic Sling II

SAM Pelvic Sling  is a force controlled circumferential pelvic belt. It features an optimized single piece design that will help to stabilize open book pelvic ring fractures during transport to a definitive care facility.

Open book pelvic injuries are the result of anteroposterior compression injuries to the pelvis. They cause a combination of ligamentous rupture and/or fractures of both the anterior and posterior arches.

The pelvic sling comes with the patented SAM® AutoStop buckle that acts to avoid over or under tightening of the SAM Pelvic Sling. It automatically detects when the optimal compressive force has been attained, then causes 2 prongs to activate. The prongs click to provide audible confirmation that correct application has been achieved.

The sling is secured in place by way of a Velcro® strapping system.
