Hip Protector

Description

• AVOID BREAKING YOUR HIP!

Each year, thousands of people spend a long time in hospitals because of a hip fracture. This means individual suffering and is also a cost to society. Alarming is the fact that our aging population means that the risk of future hip fractures is increasing. Preventing a hip from breaking is preferable than having to cure it!

DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BELIEVING THAT IT CAN’T HAPPEN TO YOU!

Statistics show that 40% of all people who have had a hip fracture cannot lead a normal life thereafter. A further 20% will die within 1 year of the fracture due to complications. Only 40% can lead normal lives after the fracture has healed. Why take the risk when there is an easy method of prevention? Protect yourself from the consequences of a broken hip before it is too late. As a result of the natural aging process, every person over 65 years of age runs a high risk of fracturing bones.

USE THE HIP DAY AND NIGHT, AS THERE IS NO BETTER MATERIAL FOR THIS PURPOSE!

Our unisex underpants help to prevent a broken hip in the case of a fall. Comfortable to wear, they are suitable for day and night. The Servohip protector absorbs impact there where it is most needed: At the hip. The pads are placed in the pockets at the side of the underpants. The pads are made of thin, elastic material with are incredibly impact-resistant.

The HIP PROTECTOR keeps its shape, is comfortable to wear and retains its protective properties despite frequent washing.

WHY WEAR SOFT PROTECTORS AND NOT HARD-SHELL PROTECTORS?

Hard-shell protectors are sold for the same purpose as our soft protectors. In most cases, these also offer enough protection to prevent a broken hip. Rather than asking “Which type of protector should I wear?”, ask yourself “Which protector, soft or hard, is comfortable enough for me to wear day and night?”. Hard-shell protectors are difficult to wear in bed. When sleeping on one’s side they are in the way and can cause pain. Which mean: that they are removed at night and left by the side of the bed. As a result: the protector is often not worn when going to the toilet, a large number of hip fractures occur during the night!

THE HIP PROTECTOR: The ideal hip protector for absorbing the impact of falls and bumps, thus protecting against breaks. 60% impact absorption, comfortable to wear and washable at 60°C. The two protectors can be removed to enable the underpants to dry quicker. The protectors may not be washed.
