Safehip Hip Protector Belt

Key benefits

• High impact absorbing shields protect the hips
• Worn over clothing for quick daily use
• Adjustable belt keeps shields securely in place
• Lightweight padding avoids added bulk

The Safehip Hip Shield Protector Belt is a high impact absorbing hip protector worn over or under clothing to help reduce hip injuries during a fall. Lightweight padding sits over each hip, while an adjustable belt keeps the guards securely in place.

Seniors and people at risk of falls can wear the Safehip Hip Protector Belt at home, for walking, cycling or general outings without needing to change clothing. As a hip fracture protection belt, the unisex design is easy to put on and remove.

Hip fractures in the elderly are a serious risk that usually requires surgery. Prevention is infinitely preferable to treatment.

What is the Hip Shield Hip Protector Belt by Safehip?

The Hip Shield Hip Protector Belt by Safehip has been specifically developed for hips protection to reduce the risk of hip fractures in seniors. 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. This hip protector belt is also very suitable for post-surgery hip care.

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

How Does the Hip Shield 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 injury 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.
