For more than 7 years, Kapsul has worked tirelessly to understand the risks, performance inhibitors, and challenges soldiers face on a daily basis. mTBI and injury to the brain continues to be one of the militaries top injury problems experienced during both combat and training. These can be caused by a variety of different circumstances including impacts, repetitive sub concussive events such as riding in a vehicle over rough terrain, to blast waves from ammunition fire. The Kapsul Collar provides an increased level of protection through the support of our normal anatomical structures, absorbing and dissipating acceleration forces of the head and neck, that otherwise would be transferred to the brain.
Brain and Neck Protection
Up to a 40% in Linear and Angular Acceleration, the primary causes of mTBI injury
Increased Performance
Reduced Fatigue, Perform Better for Longer
Along with mTBI, injury to the neck is one of the primary reasons warfighters need to pull out of the fight. The neck is an incredibly important joint that is critical in tasks ranging from aircraft piloting to vehicle management. As the muscles in the neck fatigue, they perform sub optimally and leave the individual more susceptible to injury. The Kapsul Collar provides support to these key muscle systems allowing the individual to perform better, for longer, with less risk of injury.
Full Range of Motion
Complete Range of Motion, In Any Scenario
Maintaining full range of motion of the head and neck is critical to performance and survivability for soldiers. The Kapsul Collar was designed to provide all the benefits of acceleration dissipation and muscle support without inhibiting any range of motion. We've tested the collar in hundreds of combat scenarios and found that users felt no inhibition in performing.
