Exosuit Reduces Injury Risk

HeroWear designs and manufactures exosuits to take the load off the backs of hardworking men and women around the world. The Apex 2 exosuit is the second iteration of HeroWear's exosuits, aiming to reduce back strain for thousands of workers worldwide.

The Apex 2 exosuit assists workers who perform repetitive bending and lifting movements, acting as an extra set of back muscles and decreasing work-related discomfort by up to 30%. Standout features of the 3-lb. lightweight suit include breathable textiles and flexibility, plus a modular design that provides a comfortable fit for users of any size and shape with no motors or batteries involved. Workers can turn the elastic assistance on and off with the click of a button.

"The Apex 2 has been proven to significantly reduce injury risk in the workplace due to a 20-40% reduction in back muscle strain and an up to 40% decrease in muscle fatigue," said a company spokesperson. "A recent study shows workers at four distribution centers who wore the Apex 2 exosuit reported zero back injuries through 280,000 hours of work and an estimated 50-60 million lifts. These distribution centers would have normally expected 10.5 back injuries in that same timeframe, based on historical data. User-reported, work-related fatigue was reduced by 40% in another study, which also showed a productivity boost of 8% among grocery warehouse case pickers. This boost improves more than just the worker's quality of life, but also yields an estimated 13x return on the initial investment over a 5-year period when deploying the Apex 2 among their workforce."
