Reduce the risk of devastating hip injury with the scientifically validated soft hip protector.

 
The Soft Hip Protector - The Preferred Method of Hip Fracture and Hip Injury Prevention

Hip injuries, resulting from falls, are the leading cause of injury death and the main cause of nonfatal injuries that limit independent living among people 65 years and older. 1

While medications, such as sedatives and anti-anxiety drugs, often increase the risk of falls and fall-related injuries, poor vision, and just difficulty in moving from place to place put the elderly at risk of a fall that results in a fatal or debilitating hip injury or hip fracture.

Hip Fractures are preventable!

Seniors often develop a fear of falling, causing them to limit activities and leading to reduced mobility. Scientifically proven 2 to reduce hip fractures and traumatic hip injuries, HipSaver® products restore confidence of motion to the elderly, both preserving physical health and increasing Senior mobility.

Worldwide, study after study* proves that hip protection is an effective prevention of hip injury due to fall. However, recent studies indicate that soft hip protectors, such as the all-soft AirPad® technology in HipSaver products, are a superior replacement to hard-shell hip protectors. 2

HipSaver® is the Right Choice for Hip Protection

HipSaver preserves mobility for all levels of Senior activity.

Studies show*, that the effectiveness of any hip protector relies on the compliance of the user. HipSaver products are designed with the user in mind. Incredibly soft and comfortable to wear, HipSaver styles fit both the body and the user's lifestyle and range from styles for the elderly in nursing home settings to those for Seniors who daily participate in exercise programs and even robust activities, such as jogging.
