Knee and body protection

22 October 2019

Redbacks Cushioning Limited, developers of the award winning, ‘Leaf-Spring’ cushioning technology offers a range of products to help protect the knees and body from damage caused by kneeling.

The Redbacks Pocket Kneepad, specifically designed to fit work trousers, features a flexible leaf-spring held within a thermoplastic honeycomb matrix which, unlike foam or gel, ensures a high compression rate and 100% recovery to its original shape. 

This combination and the inherent ‘memory’ aspect gives controlled weight distribution; and the deceleration of pressure protects both the knees and body from potentially damaging impact forces and gives long lasting, anti-fatigue support. Traditional foam or gel solutions create point-pressure which focus the force or energy to a point which is then transmitted back into the knee joint and beyond.

Easy to slide in and curved to fit comfortably around the knee, the water-resistant pads, which conform to CE EN14404 Type 2 Level 1, help to protect against possible injury from sharp objects. They also wick away sweat and provide thermal protection from warm or cold surfaces. They are machine washable at 30 degrees C and 100% recyclable.
