HOW DOES IT WORK?
The ExoCell works by providing assistance to specific areas of the body. Patent pending elastic bands are strategically positioned to support the back and hips. Energy is stored in the elastic bands as you perform repetitive motions such as lifting or walking up stairs This can be visualized as if you are putting a layer of muscle on top of the muscles performing the strenuous activity.
The ExoCell is designed to be used in any industry that requires repetitive lifting such as a warehouse setting, shop environment, lifting, loading, unloading materials, or assisting patients in and out of bed. These are the industrial athletes that keep the world going!
WHAT TYPE OF WORK IS THE EXOCELL FOR?
The ExoCell provides an estimated 25% - 35% assistance when you lift. What does that actually mean? It means that if you are repetitively lifting 20 pounds all day every day, that amount of weight is reduced by up to 35%.
​
For Example: If you work 8 hours, lifting 20 pounds 4 times per hour, that equals approximately 640 pounds within the 8 hour period. Using the ExoCell, at 25% assistance, there would be a reduction of the total weight of 640 pounds to 480 pounds lifted that day.
HOW MUCH SUPPORT DOES THE EXOCELL PROVIDE?
When a back related injury occurs it may result in lower employee morale. Minor back injuries can lead to days missed, decreased efficiency as well as delayed production or projects. Non-minor back injuries can cost companies greater financial losses in compensation claims made to insurance companies.
​
By investing in a cost effective type of wearable support device which actively assists during lifting may minimize injuries and lower associated costs to the company. Having products like the ExoCell available to employees may result in raising employee morale and reinforcing safety.
