UK SAFETY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY TO LAUNCH WORLD’S FIRST IN FOOTWEAR AND KNEE PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT AT A + A

Redbacks Cushioning Limited – Hall 11, Stand: 11E28

Redbacks Cushioning Limited, a British company specialising in cushioning and personal protection technology, is to introduce a range of innovative new products for both foot and knee health and safety, at this year’s A + A Trade Fair, the World’s largest specialist safety and security exhibition.  (Dusseldorf, October 27-30, 2015).

For footwear a world’s first in midsole and insole design incorporating proven award winning leaf spring cushioning technology not based on the traditional footwear materials of gel or foam. The new revolutionary design from Redbacks Cushioning Ltd is scientifically proven to align and mirror the feet’s natural movement. This encourages comprehensive energy return and superior comfort whilst supporting the three main areas of the feet to provide a walking on air feel.

For a number of years Redbacks Cushioning Ltd have been supplying the Redbacks kneepads, an engineered suspension system to protect the knee. This unique technology gained an innovation award from SATRA for personal protection. Redbacks Cushioning will introduce a further three new strapped kneepads containing the same advanced technology, two with a hard and flexible shell and one with a soft face. They will contain a number of new features including an articulated hinged strap and a unique design to reduce pressure at the back of the knee. The new designs will provide high levels of comfort and protection which have been needed for many years.

The patented design and construction of the company’s products are currently based on a special moulded leaf-spring suspended in an arch by a flexible honeycomb matrix. When pressure is applied directly above the spring it levels, dispersing the force and spreading the weight. The matrix provides a holding mechanism for the spring to control its bend and stabilise the entire structure, allowing pressure to be distributed evenly time after time.
