Product Details

 

What is the Hip Shield Hip Protector Belt by Safehip?

The Safehip Hip Protector Belt is a wrap-around belt with absorbing hip shield that can be worn over clothing to help reduce hip injuries and hip fractures during a fall. 

Lightweight foam padding sits over each hip, while an adjustable velcro keeps the shields securely in place.

Ideal for seniors and people at risk of falls during day or night. As a hip fracture protection belt, the unisex design is easy to put on and remove. Available in 5 sizes.

 

The hip protector is a belt with a velcro fastener and sewn-in hip protector pads made out of soft PE foam. The hip belt is designed to safety absorb and deflect impact away from the hipbone and prevent hip injury. It is designed for active seniors who are at risk of falling. This hip protector belt is also very suitable for post-surgery hip care.

It offers the same protective benefit as the  Safehip AirX Hip protector - open or the Safehip AirX Hip protector Pants - closed but with the added convenience of easy removal and without the restriction of movement.

 

How Does the Safehip Hip Protector Belt Work?

Positioned in critical areas around the hips, the sewn-in foam hip pad can effectively prevent hip fractures. In the event of a fall, the unique Hip Shield Hip Protector absorbs and dissipates the impact, reducing the risk of hip fracture, trauma and bruising to the vulnerable hip area.

The Hip Shield itself is discreet and comfortable to wear, and is unobtrusive beneath a skirt or trousers. It can also be worn over clothes.
