Statistics show that 25% of Americans over the age of 65 fall every year. Every 11 seconds an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall. Every 19 minutes an older adult dies from a fall. These statistics seem grim, but there’s a solution. The key is to think ahead and be proactive. That’s why we engineered SmartCells® fall protection mats and flooring.
Fall Protection Solutions
Falls happen. Injuries don't have to.
Falls are common. They happen frequently.
SAVE MONEY & DECREASE WORRY
Avoid Financial and Emotional Damage
According to research, not only do fall-related expenses total more than $50 billion annually, but most people who fall develop a fear of it happening again. This cognitive strain greatly impacts their mobility and independence. It also increases the risk of recurrent falls.
STAY PROTECTED
Gain Independence and Peace of Mind
Vulnerable people should have the assurance that they’ll be protected in the event of a fall. Confidence is the single best way to avoid falling in the first place. We believe in strengthening a person’s natural gait and mobility by giving them the confidence to live their lives.
Engineered for Mobility
Seamless Support for Those in Your Care
Manufactured from durable rubber and engineered based on valid, time-tested research, SmartCells Fall Protection solutions effectively reduce injuries from falls. The key is a stable supportive surface that doesn’t impair balance, walking, or common rolling loads.
Suited for Every Environment
Customizable Solutions for Any Setting
We understand that everyone’s situation is unique. SmartCells Fall Protection systems are available in pre-sized mats, wall-to-wall flooring, and custom applications to best meet the needs of the environment. Our solutions are constructed of 100% rubber, which means that they will not absorb liquids, effectively reducing the risk of infection and contamination.

How SmartCells Work:
1. Stable Support: Optimized for Human Performance
SmartCells® Fall Protection technology has a “resting state” – much like a non-compressed spring – with a natural, supportive, upright force that does not impair balance or mobility.
2. Cushion on Impact: The More Force, the Softer it Becomes
SmartCells® Fall Protection Products compress and absorb pressure/impact energy from standing, weight-shifting, walking, or from the impact of a fall. After reaching a “critical threshold” the cellular structures soften and collapse laterally, without bottoming out.
3. Return Energy: In Phase with your Natural Movement
Like miniature springs, SmartCells® Fall Protection floor mats and products store impact energy until pressure is reduced or eliminated. The SmartCells® resilient rubber material and structure work “in-phase” with body movements to actively rebound, relieving joint aches and pains..

We pride ourselves on versatility. While you might not be able to change the structural foundations of your home or facility, we can help you install forgiving, customizable flooring surfaces that protect the people inside.

Our Solution
SmartCells Fall Protection flooring solutions provide a cushioned but stable surface that absorbs up to 90% of impact forces in the event of a fall. This drastically reduces the chance of serious injuries. From cushioned flooring to fall protection mats, SmartCells are designed to provide confidence and protection.
IMPROVE RESIDENT SAFETY
SmartCells prevent fall-related injuries by off-loading 90% of impact forces
ENHANCE INDEPENDENCE
SmartCells products will not impair balance or gait, and they reduce the fear of falling
REDUCE STRESS ON STAFF
SmartCells products are easy to clean, support rolling loads, and reduce standing fatigue
Easy to Install and Maintain
SmartCells can be installed as a standalone system or a cushioned subfloor. Virtually indistinguishable from regular flooring, they can be custom-fit to any space for complete wall-to-wall coverage. The flooring is “edge-bound” which creates a continuous non-trip surface. Not only will those in your care avoid injuries, but the flooring is engineered to reduce the fatigue of caretakers as well.
Our mats are made of one solid piece of molded rubber. This creates a seamless, non-porous surface. In a setting where everyday spills are commonplace, an easily cleaned solution is essential.
