Rezon

Despite heightened awareness of brain injury in sport, many parents, players, schools and clubs still don’t know enough about the short and long-term consequences of head impacts and brain injury.

One of the biggest dangers comes from rotational forces that are present in every head impact. These forces cause the brain to rotate inside the skull shearing brain cells, tearing blood vessels, and causing inflammation to the brain.

Concussions (which many people know about) and sub-concussions (which many people don’t know about) both involve rotational forces. Sub-concussions are the greater danger in sports because they are more frequent (over 500 times more common than concussions) and, despite going unnoticed every single one impacts memory and attention, suppresses brain function and increase the risk of longer-term conditions like Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), an early onset dementia from their twenties onwards.

Rezon is a British company that has developed Halos®, a ground-breaking sports headband that protects the brain in sport. It’s the only headgear of its kind that is designed to reduce every player’s risk of concussion and developing CTE from sub-concussive impacts.

Halos® reduces concussion risk by 74% and reduces rotational force to the brain by up to 61% through a patented design of nine protective layers. Halos® is international recognised by global safety testing lab, Virginia Tech, as a top rated five-star product. Halos® is the first and only CE Category II PPE-certified protective headband, which meets the UK and EU legal safety standard. Halos® is a registered medical device with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US.
