In sports medicine, the standard for bracing is changing.
From NCAA football to the NHL, athletic trainers trust PROTECT3D to help keep athletes in the game. Across the spectrum of elite sports, the need is the same: support that fits correctly, moves naturally, and can be turned around fast.
This recent WRAL segment highlights a few key customers in North Carolina, including NC State Football Athletic Trainer Justin Smith and Carolina Hurricanes Athletic Trainer Doug Bennett. Both ATs leverage the PROTECT3D Platform to have custom, 3D-printed bracing options to keep their athletes competing at the highest levels. This system allows more comfortable, lower-profile, and safer solutions to issues faced by Athletic Trainers and their athletes across the country.

Hear firsthand from NC State’s Defensive End Isaiah Shirley on how the product helped him endure the grueling college football season and compete at his best.

PROTECT3D makes bracing personal, usable, and better aligned with how athletes actually move, and that’s not all. Bringing the same technology used by elite athletes to the everyday patient is one of PROTECT3D’s core objectives. In PROTECT3D’s eyes, everyone is an athlete – whether you’re catching touchdowns or walking your dog, custom bracing options can be the new standard helping you live your best quality of life.
