HipSaver Soft Hip Protectors 

As the name HipSaver suggests - wearing HipSaver Soft Hip Protector helps to save hips of frail elderly people at risk of falling from fall related hip fractures and hip injuries.

Since its launch in the United Kingdom in 2002, HipSaver Soft Hip Protector plays an increasingly important role in the prevention of fall related hip fractures and hip injuries. Biomechanically tested, proven effective in clinical trials and endorsed by users, HipSaver is a hip protector of choice for care professionals and their elderly patients.

HipSaver is a leading soft hip protector - in the UK, the USA and in most European countries as well as in Israel. HipSaver features soft permanently sewn-in hip pads that protect trochanteric areas located at the top of the thigh bones from the dangerous effects of the impact forces generated by accidental falls. HipSaver pads are soft, light and large. Each soft and pliable pad weighs mere 80 g. The pads mould themselves into the user’s body contours during wearing. And because the HipSaver pads are large by comparison to other brands of hip protectors, the chances of pad misplacement during wearing of HipSavers are very minimal. HipSaver is a user friendly soft hip protector. It has been designed to meet the specific health needs of the frail elderly people (i.e. incontinence problems, frailty and balance issues, poor grip, need for comfort) and to cater for the practical needs of the carers (i.e. cost effectiveness, garment durability, compliance with laundry regulations, easy patient dressing).

There are no problems with HipSaver garment acceptance or adherence to wearing HipSaver. It is accepted, liked and appreciated equally by the elderly people and by those, who care for them at the care homes, hospitals or at home. Considering the trauma of accidental falling, followed by morbidity and mortality caused by fall related hip injuries and hip fractures, the benefits of wearing HipSaver soft hip protector can be great.  

HipSavers can help to prevent hip injuries caused by accidental falls and spare your patients or your loved ones a great deal of pain and suffering or even untimely death. Of course it is best to prevent accidental falls, but despite all the efforts, some people will continue to fall! If someone elderly you know or love is at risk of falling, consider HipSaver the hip protector of choice to help you prevent fall related injury from happening.
