Performance: Vertical Force
When you sit for extended periods, you constantly apply a vertical force on your buttocks.
EXGEL demonstrated over 10 times the impact absorption performance of standard urethane foam in in-house tests.
It gently absorbs and distributes the shock from when you first sit down and the pressure when you sit for extended periods.
A golf ball is dropped from a 1-meter height. The ball bounces about half that height when dropped onto urethane foam; with EXGEL, the ball barely bounces at all, and the impact is absorbed.
Demonstration: Lateral Force
The body unconsciously and repeatedly shifts when we sit.
Tests of this lateral shifting showed that EXGEL can reduce the pressure on the buttocks because the gel freely moves along with the movement of the buttocks.
When a peach is pressed and moved sideways on urethane foam, its skin gets damaged from the friction produced; with EXGEL, no damage occurs.
Demonstration: Force Distribution
Pressure concentrates in a single spot when we sit, which leads to fatigue or pain.
EXGEL is an extremely flexible material
that redistributes the body pressure and alleviates a burden.
The optimal combination of EXGEL and urethane foam
This cushion combines the fluidity of EXGEL and the lightness of urethane foam in a layered structure. It contains high-quality urethane foam for lightness while maximizing the qualities of EXGEL. This was developed with the goal of creating top-of-the-line cushions for wheelchairs.
Reliability that meets global standards
Products with EXGEL are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management certification.
