A new and innovative snowboard glove and wrist guards specifically desgined for Snowboarders and their safety. Flexmeter is the ONLY snowboard wrist guard / glove designed by a DOCTOR, and with PROVEN research RESULTS.
Broken Wrists are the most common snowboard injury,
especially for beginners. Last year there were over
95,000 snowboard wrist injuries worldwide.
Beginner snowboarders have 4 times the risk of a wrist injury.
Flexmeter - Measured Flex to reduce snowboard wrist injuries
Flexmeter recently won a “BrandNew” award at the world’s largest snowboard trade show, ISPO, in Munich, Germany.
A new type of flexible wrist guard gives you true shock absorption to significantly reduce snowboard wrist fractures -- unlike normal wrist guards.
After 5-years of development by doctor Marc Binet, MD, in cooperation with DuPont engineering, the new Flexmeter wrist guards and gloves are a response to Dr. Binet's direct clinical experience in the heart of the French Alps.
After diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating thousands of snowboard wrist fractures over the past ten years, Dr. Binet noticed two patterns:
Those who don't use wrist guards typically have
fractures located 2 cm from the wrist joint - within
the growth-plate zone of the bones. Clinical research
suggests no effect on future bone growth, but the
fracture can be debilitating, requiring months of
rehabilitation and loss of time snowboarding.
Those who use standard snowboard wrist guards
typically have fractures that are exaggerated by the
high stress-concentration that's generated by their
rigid or semi-rigid designs, many times requiring
surgery.
Dr. Binet's solution is a new category of wrist guards.
Made of energy-absorbing DuPont Hytrel thermoplastic elastomer, a 2-stage flex-zone, and a tapered beam shape – the potentially injurious loads from snowboard falls are re-directed and spread-out more uniformly over the entire wrist and forearm to help reduce the incidence of wrist fractures. An extensive “prospective” research study currently underway by “Medicins de Montage” (Mountain Doctors), a group of 52 volunteer physicians based in Publier, France, suggests a 60% reduction in snowboard wrist fractures with the use of Flexmeter elastic wrist guards and gloves!
Presently, over 5,000 pair of Flexmeter elastic wrist guards and gloves have been sold in Europe, beginning February, 2003.
