The BionicBack exoskeleton was the first exoskeleton in the world to receive the AGR seal of approval.

Back pain is one of the most common causes of sick leave - especially in physically demanding jobs. Many companies are therefore looking for solutions that promote health.

👉 One of them: exoskeletons such as the BionicBack.

Now there is a new milestone: the BionicBack is the world's first exoskeleton with the AGR seal of approval. But what does this actually mean - and why is it so special?

What is the AGR seal of approval?

The AGR seal (Campaign for Healthy Backs) is only awarded to products that are demonstrably back-friendly. Testing is carried out by an independent committee of medical and ergonomics experts.

🔍 The criteria include, among other things

Support of a natural posture
Relief for the spine and joints
Individual adaptability to different body shapes
Promotion of ergonomic movement sequences

Only products that fulfil these requirements are awarded the AGR seal. It is one of the most important quality features in the field of ergonomics.

Why is this important?

🎯 Back pain and musculoskeletal disorders are still among the top causes of illness in the workplace. Especially in professions with:

heavy lifting
frequent bending down
mobile or changing work locations

traditional ergonomic measures reach their limits. This is where the BionicBack exoskeleton comes in - as a portable, flexible solution that provides support directly on the body.

What makes the BionicBack so special?

The BionicBack is a passive exoskeleton without a battery or motor. It uses mechanical energy storage to:

absorb energy when bending forward
release it again when straightening up
relieve the muscles in a targeted manner

💡 The result: less muscle fatigue, a healthy lifting posture and a noticeably relieved back.

Particular strengths:

✅ Adaptable to different body shapes

✅ Promotes an ergonomically favourable lifting position

✅ Reduces strain on joints & spine

✅ Lightweight, flexible and intuitive to use

✅ Scientifically tested and recommended

A seal with impact - for you and your team

The AGR seal of approval not only means that the product is medically appropriate - but also that it demonstrably contributes to the prevention of back pain.

For companies, this means

✅ More health in the team

✅ Less downtime

✅ Greater employee motivation and loyalty

The BionicBack is not just any exoskeleton - it is an excellent tool for healthier working.

Conclusion: back relief with letter and seal of approval

The AGR seal of approval confirms this: The BionicBack is back-friendly and makes medical sense
It supports a healthy posture, reduces strain and can be customised
Companies benefit twice over - through healthier employees and increased productivity

Anyone who wants to protect their employees is making a sound decision with the BionicBack
