Who Can the HipShield Benefit?

HipShield hip protection reduces the risk of hip fractures in the elderly, and is also ideal for post-operative care.

Suitable for day or nightwear, the HipShield just slips into a pair of protector pants and is unobtrusive beneath skirts or trousers. Place the hip protectors into the internal pockets before putting the garment on for protection and confidence day and night.

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 that you simply ‘slip’ the Hip protector into before putting on the garment. 

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.
