Trauma surgeons around the world agree on the importance of stabilizing pelvic fractures during the critical first “golden hour" following severe trauma. 
The SAM Pelvic Sling II is the first and only force-controlled circumferential pelvic belt scientifically proven in peer-reviewed studies to safely and effectively reduce and stabilize open-book pelvic ring frac¬tures. Because of the potentially devastating hemorrhage associated with such fractures, standard first aid protocol has included applying some type of circumferential binder around the victim’s hips.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS 
• Scientifically and clinically proven to provide safe and effective force to stabilize pelvic fractures 
• Buckle maintains correct force – cannot be over-tightened 
• Simple 3-step application: just insert belt through buckle, pull strap, and secure 
• Standard size fits 98% of population 
• Low friction posterior slider facilitates transfers 
•“Click” provides clear feedback to confirm correct application 
• Pulling gradually and symmetrically increases sling tension and reduces the pelvis 
• Every sling is tested for quality 
• Front of sling is narrow and tapered to facilitate urinary catheterization, interventional radiology, external fixation, and abdominal surgery 
• Radiolucent (allowing for X-rays without removal) 
• Velcro on strap and sling for quick and easy fastening 
• Reusable, not a one time use device 
• Fabric does not stretch and cleans for re-use with standard detergent or anti-microbial solutions
