Business news : Demon Completes Acquisition of Flexmeter, a division of Docmeter

Salt Lake City, UT - Demon International, LC DBA Action Sports Group, has successfully completed the acquisition of the France based activities and concept Flexmeter and associated IP. The Flexmeter, a division of the Docmeter company, led by Dr. Binet is a developer and innovator of protective wrist guards for action sport athletes.

The Flexmeter wrist guard and wrist guard glove is a unique support system designed by trauma surgeon Dr Binet which allows for movement and flexing in the wrist while still maintaining optimal protection. The Flexmeter Wrist Guard provides a unique safety cage preventing hyper-extension of the wrist. Flexmeter uses a Hytrel thermoplastic splint ® by Dupont ™ to prevent wrist extension beyond a certain angle and absorbs compression forces. In a field experiment  launched in two ski resorts the Flexmeter concept had 75% less fractures than the witness group wearing no protection or another type of protection. It is registered as a design Patent in the USA D0528214.

"We are convinced that the takeover of the Flexmeter brand by Demon International is the right step to provide this concept with broad international exposure”, said General Manager of Docmeter/Flexmeter Serge Darcy.  "It will benefit a much larger number of snow sports enthusiasts who had no access to this special type of protection and allow many more people to participate in snowsports with total confidence”, says Dr Binet.

Demon International will distribute Flexmeter wrist guards and wrist guard gloves through its current distribution channels covering 30 countries worldwide in 2013. Demon will also select several branded partners to integrate the Flexmeter technology into their own branded gloves.
