Both the honeycomb matrix and the leaf-spring are made from
the same thermoplastic injection moulded material, ensuring a
high compression rate and 100% recovery to its original shape,
which means no loss of function over time. This combination gives
the unique controlled distribution and deceleration of pressure
– in other words protecting the body from impact forces making
it particularly effective for pressure relief when standing, sitting,
lying down or kneeling.
It is this memory aspect to the material that elevates our
technology above the competition. Differing from basic foams such
as PU and EVA, which provide limited cushioning by air pockets
that collapse relatively quickly, Redbacks Cushioning Technology
ultimately performs at a higher cushioning rate for longer,
enabling you to work harder for longer in greater comfort.
After 3 years of research, initial development and a vigorous
and continuous sales and marketing campaign, we are very well
placed to accelerate our progress throughout 2015; many leading
PPE distributors and organisations with large workforces, together
with thousands of self-employed professionals have already
recognised the true health and safety benefits which our products
provide and we are more than confident that these will be joined
by many more over the coming months and years.
Our Mission
Redbacks Cushioning is about helping people to work safer,
more comfortably and for longer, whatever their working or
leisure environment. Our mission is to continue to develop
class-leading products that promote good health, comfort and
wellbeing by reducing pressure on the human anatomy. We only
use the highest quality, recyclable materials in our products, to
maximise longevity and durability for users, whilst reducing our
impact on the planet.
Footwear:
In 2012 we started designing Redbacks Cushioning Technology
for use as a midsole in a wide variety of shoes, trainers, walking
and safety boots. An eminent team of podiatrists, biomechanical
engineers and designers worked in collaboration to successfully
create a midsole that delivers unrivalled comfort together with
outstanding scientifically proven results.
A number of internationally established footwear
manufacturers are now keen to work with us; during 2015 we will
be launching our first range of revolutionary safety footwear which
will incorporate the original Redbacks cushioning technology
giving ‘direction of force’ flexibility which ensures the even
distribution of the impact forces whilst walking; this alleviates
pressure on the feet and the rest of the body by absorbing energy
and making walking as light and comfortable as possible.
The company, which is a member of BSIF has won a number of
awards over the past 3 years, for its kneepad design, one of the
most significant being the prestigious SATRA Best Innovation
Occupational PPE Award in 2012; professional tradespeople
who are readers of some of the UK’s leading trade publications
have also voted in nationwide polls for Redbacks kneepads as an
award winning product.
All Redbacks Cushioning products
are patented worldwide, and fully CE
approved.
Seating:
Our experience with the kneepads and footwear is now leading
us to develop a completely unique type of seating with similar
cushioning health and safety benefits. Discussions are well down
the line with representatives from the automotive, rail and aviation
industries who are interested in us offering the first credible
alternative to the traditional polyester fibre wadding, polyurethane
foam, metal springs and gels used by today’s manufacturers.
