The Oregonian highlights the expansion of Nuro’s WaveCel product, a groundbreaking helmet technology, with the opening of a new facility in Wilsonville, Oregon.
This research introduces a novel helmet design aimed at mitigating rotational head acceleration, a major cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly during oblique impacts common in bicycle falls. The study compares helmets with a collapsible cellular structure (CELL) against traditional EPS helmets (CONTROL) in a series of drop tests with varying impact angles and velocities. Results showed that the CELL helmets significantly reduced rotational acceleration (by 34%-73%) and axonal strain (by 63%-85%), indicating a promising strategy for reducing brain injury risk without compromising linear acceleration or neck load performance. This approach demonstrates the potential for safer helmets by addressing rotational forces more effectively than conventional designs.
The article discusses a groundbreaking innovation in hard hats after 50 years, focusing on a new design aimed at preventing head injuries. The innovation integrates advanced technologies to enhance safety, addressing the shortcomings of traditional hard hats. The new design is poised to improve protection for workers in hazardous environments, offering better impact absorption and reducing the risk of traumatic brain injuries.
As part of the WaveCel product line, Nuro has developed a new energy-absorbing material for safety helmets, including bicycle helmets and hard hats. Unlike traditional foam layers, WaveCel uses a flexible honeycomb grid that collapses to absorb impact and disperse force away from the head. This innovation, which took 15 years to develop, has been used in Trek bicycle helmets since 2019, and hard hats featuring the material will be available starting in May. The material is produced in the U.S. and is expected to enhance safety in various helmet types.
