What is the Hip Shield Hip Protector Belt by Safehip?
TheHip Shield Hip Protector Belt bySafehiphas been specifically developed for hips protection to reduce the risk of hip fractures in seniors. This hip protector is very suitable for post-surgery hip care. The hip protector is a belt with a hook & loop fastener and sewn-in hip protector pads made out of soft PE foam. The hip belt is designed to absorb and deflect impact away from the hipbone and prevent hip injury. It is designed for active seniors who are at risk of falling.
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.
