The Weight Is Over
Why Wait Until After an Injury to Address Back Strain?
The Apex reduces the risk of back pain before it starts
The life of an active worker is a back injury waiting to happen - with frequent lifting, bending, and reaching to keep up with fast-paced demands. No matter what safety reminders are in place, workers' back muscles are working overtime and increase the risk of over-exertion back injuries.
The Apex passive back-assist exosuit helps active workers reduce that risk by comfortably assisting them during strain-inducing tasks. The sleek, lightweight design has practical wearability in mind - providing that much-needed assistance without sacrificing range of motion or comfort, with a fit that is customizable to any body type.
The Apex creates a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce by sending them home with more energy and less pain, while helping reduce the risk of back injuries.
Pillars of Effective Exosuits


Comfort
Composed of lightweight materials, the Apex fits comfortably. Weighing only 3.4 lbs, it’s textile-based, breathable, and gives you an incredible range of motion.


Assistance
The Apex is built to reduce loading and fatigue of back muscles by reducing strain on the back by over 75 lbs with every lift. It preserves your strength and sustains healthy productivity.


Freedom of Movement
Modular components keep the Apex agile, enabling a wide range of size customization. Easy to take on and off, the Apex’s dual-mode means you can activate the exosuit’s assistance when you need it. And deactivate it when you don’t.By the Numbers
Back pain costs American businesses $100 billion per year in direct and indirect costs.
Americans lose 264,000,000 workdays per year because of back pain.
The Apex can take over 75 lbs. of strain off the back on every lift. That adds up.
The lightweight Apex only weighs 3.4 lbs, which is about the same as an empty backpack.
