| SmartCells may reduce peak impact pressure on the hip by as much as 83% compared to a fall onto a concrete surface.*
From a 2’ high fall height, SmartCells reduce the probability of even a mild head injury by a factor of 10.**
SATECH provides many
anti-fatigue/safety products including flooring, mats and runners |

* Comparison of energy absorption by load spreading under anticipated loading conditions of a hip impact. Estimates based on a modified Harvard hip impact model, measured material properties of SmartCells 1” mats and the typical properties of concrete
** Comparison of HIC (Head Injury Criteria) scores produced by a head-form missile from a 2’ drop height in accordance with ASTM 1292 test. |
