SmartCells® Cushioning Technology for Fall Protection
- Elderly and frail individuals are provided fall protection with SmartCells® force-attenuating surfaces that cushion and redirect impact force.
- Standing workers experience less back, leg and foot pain, when using SmartCells® anti-fatigue mats, runners and flooring.
The SmartCells® structure formulation provides a stable surface supported by rubber cells that soften in response to surface activity. SmartCells® provide the most effective cushioning solution because SmartCells® get softer as compressed, not harder like products made of foam. SmartCells® also recover/rebound more rapidly than most foam–resulting in an energizing responsiveness not found in other matting.
…the energy absorbed by the SmartCells® structure, per unit volume, is more than five times greater [than foam]

- SmartCells bedside mats are only ½ inch thick, yet provide more than twice as much force attenuation as mats that are more than twice as thick.
- SmartCells fall protection flooring is 1” thick, yet provide more than five times as much force attenuation as mats that are more than twice as thick.
- The SmartCells / InterfaceFLOR system can increase force attenuation by an additional 30%.
"We were able to reduce fractures by almost 45% and less serious injuries requiring hospitalization or ER visits. The SmartCells® fall protection mats are definitely preventing serious injuries from falls when falling out of bed. Of the 22 out-of-bed falls, 12 involved residents with SmartCells® fall protection mats in front of their bed, where we experienced zero fractures."
