Dr. Sam Slishman, inventor of the amazing Slishman Pressure Wrap, generously made some time to talk with Dr. Morey about what has quickly become the Official Uncivilized Vitality "must have" medical tool! Not just an alternative to a traditional windlass style TQ, but an incredible multi-use medical device! These wraps are inexpensive, easy to carry, multi-functional, and so intuitive to use that literally anyone could quickly put one to use and potentially save someone's life!

The inventor of the Slishman Pressure Wrap (and more) gives us the journey into how he got started and path to the Slishman Pressure Wrap.

This week, Aebhric O’Kelly is again joined by Dr Sam Slishman. They discuss medical innovation and Aebhric’s invention called the AirBase. They discuss medical innovation, focusing on inventions, such as the Slishman Traction Splint and the Airbase. They emphasise the importance of evidence-based medicine, particularly in the use of tourniquets and bleeding control techniques. The discussion also addresses the challenges of marketing medical devices, the role of 3D printing in healthcare, and advice for aspiring medical professionals in austere environments.

FOAMFrat had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Sam Slishman, the inventor of the Slishman traction splint. We had a great conversation on the idea/concept of this splint, who to apply it on, and some additional questions, which we plan on having him back on to discuss.
