  • 🛏️ The origin of the Ribcap Sleep Helmet 🛏️ At Ribcap Protection, we always listen to our customers. We have been asked regularly: "Can I wear my Ribcap helmet at night?" This question came mainly from people who make unconscious movements at night, such as people with epilepsy or Parkinson's disease, or after a brain injury. To better understand this question, we conducted market research. This showed that: 📊 4% of adults and about 20% of children sleepwalk, which can lead to head injuries from falls or wandering. 📊 One in every 26 people will experience epilepsy in their lifetime, with nighttime seizures being common. 📊 Seniors are particularly at risk because they are more likely to become confused or have mobility problems at night. These insights confirmed what our customers had already shared with us: there was a clear need for a protective, comfortable solution for a restful night's sleep. Some customers had tried to wear their everyday Ribcap at night but found that the chin strap and loops caused discomfort and made it difficult to sleep. With their valuable feedback, we developed the Kate sleeping helmet: designed with lightweight, breathable materials, a soft stretch band instead of traditional chin straps, and a flexible, innovative design that adapts to various sleeping positions. 😴 This development is a great example of how we work with our community to create solutions that really make a difference. 💪🏼 👉🏼 Contact us today for more information or collaboration opportunities. Let's work together to help your customers sleep better and feel safer. #Innovation #ProductDevelopment #MarketResearch #HighDemand #SleepHelmet

  • 🧢 Ribcap at the Care Products Day of the Wit-Gele Kruis West-Vlaanderen 🧢 Yesterday we attended the Care Products Day of the Wit-Gele Kruis, and what an inspiring day it was! 🤩 We had the opportunity to present Ribcap to a wide audience of doctors, healthcare providers, nurses and occupational therapists. It was great to see how enthusiastic and curious everyone was about our innovative protective headwear. Our mission is to combine safety and comfort without sacrificing style, and we are proud that Ribcap can make a valuable contribution to the healthcare sector. Thanks to the Wit-Gele Kruis West-Vlaanderen for organizing this and to everyone who took the time to talk to us. Together, we are making progress in finding safe and fashionable solutions for vulnerable target groups. 💪🏼 #Health #MedicalCare #OccupationalTherapy #Nursing #Networking #Healthcare #CareSolutions

  • ✨Cooperation with James Payne: a UK B2B partner from Ribcap ✨   James Payne from GEL OVATIONS EUROPE LIMITED tells his story 👇🏼 Founded in 2007 by father and son John and James Payne, specialists in independent living and pressure care. Gel Ovations Europe Ltd is now a dedicated manufacturer and distributor of medical products. With a strong focus on pressure care, Gel Ovations works closely with occupational therapists and healthcare professionals in both the private and public sectors. Their commitment to quality and customer feedback has positioned them as a trusted partner in the industry, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of their customers. Today, Gel Ovations is an international company used by the NHS in the UK and across Europe to prevent pressure injuries for users of all types of medical and mobility aids.   James' perspective on working with Ribcap 👇🏼 The partnership between Ribcap Protection and GEL OVATIONS EUROPE LIMITED goes back 8 years. During this eight-year partnership, we have combined our expertise to enhance our product offerings and streamline solutions for our customers. We help each other grow our businesses by providing honest feedback, trust and support.   We have built up quite an extensive network together - it's more than just selling products - it's networking and having fun at the same time! We have introduced each other to several other B2B customers that we now work with. Nico De Wilde supports us at trade shows in the UK, while I got the chance to go to Belgium for similar events. So we had a joint stand at trade shows a couple of years ago, which was very beneficial for both parties. Together, we were also instrumental in initiating a relationship with the MS Society in the UK. Today, we are very pleased to be a sponsor of that organization.   We are very happy with the logistics, we get immediate notifications when orders are placed. Orders are shipped quickly with no significant problems directly attributable to Brexit, other than the slight cost increases we have recently experienced when ordering through your new system. In addition, the amount of marketing material and additional editorial material is very valuable to us.   #B2B #Partner #cooperation #healthcare #specialneeds #disability

    Recognizing the importance of aesthetics in today’s world, it’s essential to consider design when developing assistive tools. These tools become part of a person’s daily image, contributing to their personal style or on the contrary, becoming a source of discomfort and isolation. Fortunately, many companies are addressing this need, working towards a more inclusive, confident, and empowered society. We are proud to partner with companies that share our vision - that assistive tools don’t have to look unattractive. They can be both practical and stylish, serving as accessories that enhance your look. Discover the fashionable protective helmets from Ribcap Protection or the stunning walking canes from NEO Walks, which not only provide safety but also complete your outfit, allowing you to shine every day. #MobilityRevolution #MoveWithConfidence #AdaptiveFashion #FashionMeetsFunction #AssistiveTools #KeepRollzing
