PSE Technology, manufacturer of the GelDefender skull caps, has provided selected ACC basketball players with MAX skull caps for use in practice.

When hearing of a player with a head injury, or with a team whose players have experienced multiple head injuries, PSE Technology sends the affected player and/or team GelDefender MAX skull caps for use during practice.

So far, PSE Technology has distributed 22 GelDefenders to ACC teams or players.

*Scientists have no conclusive evidence as to whether or how the reduction of g forces during impacts reduces the number or degree of concussions and head injuries. GelDefenderTM products provide supplemental padding as well as cooling and comfort benefits when used with helmets and caps. Participants in activities in which head impacts can occur should always use tested and approved helmets for protection. However, no helmet or supplemental padding can protect the user from all serious head or neck injuries that can result from impacts.
