Blunt Trauma Torso Rig

Impact Dynamics Testing

Sydor Technologies offers the Biokinetics® Blunt Trauma Torso Rig (BTTR). The BTTR is a high-fidelity solution for assessing: blunt thoracic trauma from soft body armor impacts, kinetic energy less-lethal munitions, and other moderate to high-speed distributed impacts.

Key Benefits

  • Dynamic Trauma Assessment
    Captures high-rate loading data to evaluate crushing effects on the torso.

  • Non Contact Depth Measurement
    Laser sensors detect chest-wall deflection without interfering with impact dynamics.

  • Injury Risk Quantification
    Outputs validated chest deflection metrics, enabling classification of potential blunt trauma injuries.

  • Seamless Diagnostic Integration
    Interfaces easily with Sydor’s ballistic and impact test setups for unified data collection.

Test-Ready Configuration

The BTTR arrives fully configured with a biomechanical thorax surrogate, rigid mounting frame, high-speed non-contact lasers, and integrated data recorder. Tailored for both soft armor and less lethal munition testing, it’s ready for immediate lab deployment.
