Concussions

Concussions are basically caused because the impacts to the head our players receive is stronger than the technology we use to protect against it. At the recent NFL/GE/Underarmour head challenge, a new foam demonstrated a 25% improvement in peak acceleration and a 45% improvement in severity index compared to existing helmet liners.

Developed by a physician and polymer chemist, the foam is 5% lighter and dramatically more comfortable while protecting against both repetitive low impacts and severe high impacts.

We are looking to bring this to market as an aftermarket liner athletes can use to replace their existing helmet liners. If you have any interest helping us change the incidence of concussion please email us at admin.bioxyme.com.
 
Re: Concussions

Does inserting a new liner void the warranty? USA Hockey is sensitive to changes in helmets including painting them a different color.
