SafeHip®

Many people, who have had a fall or who are at risk of falling, need effective and comfortable hip protection.

SafeHip® is an evidence-based, clinical and economic hip protector designed to reduce the incidence of hip fractures. The patented shield technology of SafeHip® uses an energy shunting technique to take the fall impact by dispersing the energy from the fall away from the hip area.

Clinical trials around the world show that SafeHip® can significantly reduce the incidence of hip fractures.*

SafeHip® is:

  • An evidence-based product
  • Tested on more than 7,000 people around the world
  • A specialised product using AirX™ technology
  • The most sold hip protector on the market
