SMARTCELLS TECHNOLOGY

We offer a new generation of cushioning technology for workplace, healthcare, athletic and equestrian applications to reduce fatigue and injury and improve productivity. Standing workers experience less back, leg and foot pain, from SmartCells anti-fatigue mats, runners and platforms. Elderly and frail individuals are provided fall protection from SmartCells shock-attenuating surfaces. Athletes train more efficiently with less injuries due to SmartCells ability to absorb, cushion and redirect impact energy.

New Generation Technology is based on Ergonomic Research. The optimal surface for standing is a combination of elements

The latest research has formed the basis for SmartCells anti-fatigue technology. Research shows that the best possible health and safety solution for an anti-fatigue surface is a combination of critical elements working in concert; not simply a softer mat.

To effectively reduce fatigue from prolonged standing, the mat surface must provide an optimal degree of firmness. It must create some instability to encourage small postural movements, yet it must not be so soft that it creates an unstable condition that causes muscles to work more than necessary to maintain a standing position. The mat must also provide stability to ensure secure footing, and still cushion adequately under pressure.

SmartCells function like a spring to return energy. SmartCells technology has been designed to be "in-phase" with the movements of the body, providing a remarkable anti-fatigue characteristic that actually helps every subtle and overt movement involved in standing or walking work compared to other surfaces. This is true anti-fatigue technology.

WHY IT WORKS

The SmartCells patented structure consists of an integrated surface layer and an underlying array of cylindrical rubber cells. The SmartCells structure provides a stable surface supported by unstable rubber cells that soften as needed in response to surface activity. The cells adjust dynamically to varying types of impacts, forces and static loads applied to the surface in order to provide:

• Maximum fatigue reduction and reduced foot, leg, and back pain in standing workers
• Enhanced performance on playing surfaces, such as when basketball players cut and run or when volleyball players scoop and dive
• Reduced head, hip, knee, elbow and other impact related injuries
• Reduced stress fractures and other chronic fatigue-related injuries caused by hard surfaces
• A firm and stable surface that allows all persons regardless of their physical ability to safely engage in athletic, workplace, or therapeutic activities

SmartCells provide a more effective cushioning solution than foam for many applications because SmartCells gets softer as compressed not harder like foam. SmartCells also recovers/rebounds more rapidly than most foam cushions.
