Rezon Halos®:
Brain Protection
The brain is vulnerable, and typically overlooked in sport until injury occurs.
Sports expose the brain to sudden acceleration and deceleration through head-to-head, head-to-ball, and head-to-ground impacts. These impacts involve rotational and linear forces which occur roughly hundreds to thousands of times to a player per season.
Sudden acceleration and decelerations of the head and rotational forces cause the brain to rotate inside the skull. Nature did not design the brain for this movement. It immediately damages brain cell structure by twisting and shearing brain cells and tearing fine blood vessels. This brain injury happens at the microscopic level, 4,000 times smaller than the eye can see on a conventional brain scan.
It also leads to delayed consequences including blood flow changes in the brain, neural inflammation, and node damage. This increases the risk of Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) and long-term neurodegenerative diseases such as CTE.
Protecting the brain in sport requires:
- the reduction of rotational forces to the brain – these forces are present in every impact, and rotate the brain inside the skull.
- the reduction in the accumulated damage from multiple sub-concussions – these small-force asymptomatic head impacts are 500 times more frequent than a concussion.
By understanding both the physicality of the brain to rotational forces and the mechanics of brain injury from sub-concussions, Rezon Halos® has been developed.
Born from innovation, bred for disruption.
How does Halos® protect the brain?
Halos® protects your brain from rotational forces – this is where your brain rotates within your skull on impact, and is a lot more common than you think.
And that’s the biggest issue in brain injury: the undetected damage of rotational forces from repeated sub-concussions goes unnoticed, yet they’re progressively tearing brain cells and blood vessels, damaging the protective blood-brain barrier, and causing brain inflammation.
Halos® has nine protective layers, wrapped around the most critical areas of your head. On impact, each of these layers move over each other, reducing the transmission of rotational forces to the brain. Also three specific layers deform, further reducing impact energy.
Without wearing a Halos® in sport, your brain is subjected to damaging rotation. Halos® has been proven to reduce rotational forces by up to 61%. That’s a significant reduction for every player at every level, with the intention of reducing the risk of neurodegenerative consequences, which only start to be seen when the damage to the brain is already done.
