BrainGuard – Brain protecting helmets for Sports, Athletics, Industrial safety

Center for Disease Control & Prevention has documented 2.8 million ER visits for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the U.S. (not including military actions). 52,000 deaths, 282,000 hospitalizations

In the US, 63,000 high school students suffer a TBI per year, many with persistent long-term cognitive and behavioral issues

TBI is the signature military injury

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is the core pathology from repetitive head injuries – salient to football and hockey and other sports

World Health Organization predicts that TBI will become a leading cause of death and disability in the world by 2020

NFL has 1,700 players, but there are ~1.2 million children and young adults each year playing Pop Warner, High School and College football

13 US Patents Awarded, six foreign patents awarded.
Innovative multi-layered Helmet design that protects against rotational shear forces that are major contributors to TBI and the Tau accumulation seen in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from repetitive head blows. The Brainguard solution results in marked rotational force reduction in laboratory testing.

Layers that move to protect – The Magic is in the Motion.

Clinical Benefit

Reduced occurrence of frank concussions from a single TBI in football and other helmeted sports, military activities and recreational activity
Decreased cumulative effects of 'sub-concussive' blows to the head in sports with repeated head contact
Decreased risk for developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy
