How Do the HipShields Prevent Injury?
Hip protectors help to reduce the risk of hip fractures: a debilitating injury that can be complex in its healing process. Whether being used as part of a care package for an elderly patient, potentially unstable on their feet and at risk of a fall; or as part of a post-operative rehabilitation plan, the HipShield can help to prevent a fall becoming an injury. The lightweight honeycomb structure of the HipShield absorbs much of the impact, and deflects any remaining jarring away from the hip bone.
Soft Cotton Underwear
Made of 95% cotton, each pair has internal pockets you simply slip the Hip Protector into before putting on the garment. Suitable for day or nightwear, this pack of three offers total convenience, allowing you to have one pair to wear, while one goes in the wash and the other one acts as a spare!
Care Instructions
The HipShield is easy to wash. The HipShield protectors should be hand washed with warm soapy water and left to dry. This normally takes around 10 minutes. The undergarments may be washed by hand or in a washing machine at 60 - 90°C.
