Summary

The Betterguards Technology GmbH develops adaptive and protective devices for joints, tendons and muscles. The Betterguard adaptors are flexible and stretchable and therefore do not bother the user during activities. In case of very fast, jerky movements, e.g. when twisting, the adaptor from Betterguards stiffens within milliseconds and thus prevents the overstretching of the joint. As soon as the massive / critical force impact on the adaptor is over, it immediately returns to its original state and becomes flexible and stretchable again.
