Longer versions of these videos have been available at www.sammedical.com, but with the emergence of the iPhone and other video and Internet enabled cell phones, these instructional videos are now available to anyone, at anytime worldwide via youtube.com.
“Providing proper education has been a priority since we originally launched the SAM Splint,” says Cherrie Scheinberg, co-founder and President of SAM Medical Products. “The ability for a medic to view video demonstrations on a cell phone is an incredible advance in first aid education unthinkable just a couple years ago.”
