Product story:
Sprains: pain, downtime, a long rehab journey back onto the pitch and then still more secondary injuries. Whether it's with ourselves, friends or sports idols - we've all experienced it in different ways. Too often.
Such injuries prevented our founder and visionary Vinzenz from pursuing a professional sports career. Commercially available bandages either offered him too little protection or restricted him and limited his body, his head and his performance. Reason enough to bring BETTERGUARDS to life and to create a completely new type of injury prevention together with pioneers from science and technology:
The BetterGuard – The safety belt for your ankles.
As part of the NBA Launchpad - the NBA's start-up accelerator - the first proprietary ankle bandage was developed in 2022. It has been successfully tested with international research institutions, such as the Charité in Berlin, as well as other institutes and athletes worldwide.
Our goal is to help athletes achieve their best performance. Unhindered by injuries or resulting mental barriers. BETTERGUARDS wants to finally banish ankle injuries from the history books of sport.
