Biomex Protection

Level's proven Biomex wrist protection system is the result of an extensive and on-going collaboration between snowboarders, the medical community, and engineers who understand bio-mechanics. Biomex research and development is based at the Klinic Gut, Center of Bone and Joint Surgery in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where Level Pros and physicians design and develop the most advanced wrist support technology on the market. Biomex Plus, the latest innovation from this project, features a new �Swallow Tail� design for better comfort and support.

Almost 30% of all injuries sustained in snowboarding are wrist injuries. A six-year study at the Klinic Gut, Center of Bone and Joint Surgery in St. Moritz , sponsored by Level and the Swiss and German Snowboard Associations, has shown the effectiveness of wrist guards in reducing the risk of wrist injuries in snowboarding.

Results of the Field Test

"A 4 year study (1998-2001) conducted at the Klinik Gut, Center of Bone and Joint Surgery and sponsored by the Swiss Snowboarding Association and Level proved the effectiveness of Biomex wrist guards in reducding the risk of wrist injuries in snowboarding. The study showed that using Biomex wrist guards reduces the risk of wrist injury by 750%."

How do you get hurt?
During a fall your wrist is put in hyper extension ( fig.1) (the back of hand is pushed back towards the forearm). In additon to this hyper extension, the wrist often experiences two types of twisting forces technically referred to as pronation (fig.2) and radial adduction (fig.3). It is the combination of these three forces that most often causes a wrist injury such as a wrist fracture.

Why is BIOMEX a better wrist guard?

BIOMEX ( fig.5) is the only wrist guard that keeps the wrist in an anatomically strong position, where muscle-forces and bone congruency combine to provide optimum stability without compromising the freedom to move.

Most wrist guard systems deal with hyperextension alone, but the BIOMEX system addresses all three of the forces that contribute to wrist injury. Standard wrist guards frequently push the fracture farther up the forearm ( fig.4).
