anti-shock
Dampens sudden forces
Anti-shock describes measures, devices, or treatments designed to prevent or counteract shock.
In medicine, anti-shock procedures address the dangerous circulatory collapse that can follow severe injury, blood loss, or allergic reaction.
In engineering and electronics, anti-shock features protect equipment from damage caused by sudden impacts or vibrations: The hard drive has anti-shock technology to survive drops.
Anti-shock packaging cushions fragile items during shipping.
