Maxillofacial injury
Cheekbone or zygomatic arch injury
Other types of injury
Custom protection masks are designed to selectively protect an injury on an athlete’s face.
3D face scanning
By 3D-scanning the football player’s face, a fully customised protection mask can be designed.
Not using physical moulds (plaster) but rather 3D-scanning the football player’s face guarantees full adaptation without reducing peripheral vision.
3D Printing manufacture
Achieved by means of high-end 3D printing using aeronautical materials such as carbon fibre.
How can I obtain a mask?
You can request a scan at an approved clinic. Request information about your nearest clinic in the Contact us section.
Or using photographs taken from your mobile phone. We use a technique called photogrammetry that allows us to obtain a 3D reconstruction of the patient’s face from a series of face pictures. Request assistance from of our engineers who will guide you in this process.
Advantages of Younext custom protection masks
- Lightweight.
- Full angle of vision since the design is customised in accordance with the geometry of each face.
- Resistance. Manufactured from high-modulus carbon fibre.
- Impact absorption. The mask includes a special material on its inner side that allows absorption of most of the impact.
