TECHNOLOGY THE HIP PROTECTOR

SAFEHIP hip protector with the horseshoe-shaped shield represents the newest generation of hip protectors with special focus on compliance.

The SAFEHIP hip protectors are based on impact energy dispersion and impact energy absorption. In the event of a fall on the hip, the SAFEHIP hip protector disperses the energy of the impact away from the greater trochanter (hip bone). This means that the energy from the fall is absorbed by the soft tissue and the muscles around the femoral neck, thereby reducing the risk of a hip fracture.

The horseshoe design of the shield provides optimal protection together with excellent compliance. Clinical studies carried out in Norwegian nursing homes show that the SAFEHIP hip protector is an excellent choice for hip fracture reduction.

100% textile all the way through for extreme comfort. Can be used with sanitary pads for light incontinence and can be worn over user’s underwear.

Open

Documented test results from a Swiss research institute for material science and technology, EMPA, show that moisture and heat are transported away from the skin, meaning that SAFEHIP with soft shield is not as warm as other generic products with soft pads.

SAFEHIP hip protectors are CE marked.

Designed with a crutch opening to wear underneath an adult diaper. Safehip AirX Open facilitates easy change and is thus ideal for heavy to double incontinence.

Ideal for long-term care residents when mobilised or for training sessions, as well as performing household tasks and the model is also ideal for leisure activities such as hiking, walking and cycling.

DermaSaver acts like a soft, protective extra skin layer, offering pressure relief, shear reduction, breathability for stay-cool comfort, moisture transfer, and antimicrobial protection- all in one package.

Designed to fit loosely, the unique material construction makes these soft tubes selfsupporting - they won’t slip down or bunch up like other skin sleeves. Stretchy knit fabric is durable and fully launderable for repeated use.
