Hip fractures are one of the most common problems faced by the elderly and
can have serious consequences. In most cases they are the result of a simple
fall - typically on wet surfaces or as a result of failing eyesight or poor
balance.
Hipshield has been designed to offer greater protection to those at risk
by placing a shock-absorbing material at the most vulnerable points on the
hip bone. The system is simple, easy to use and cost effective.
It works by absorbing and deflecting the impact away from the hip bone as
contact is made with the surface. The technology was originally developed
as a protection for those involved in motor bike accidents where joints and
bones were at greatest risk from impact damage.
Inside the protector is a lightweight honeycomb structure made up of air-filled
cells. On impact the cells compress like a series of mini shock absorbers,
spreading and absorbing the impact energy.
The protector is worn with special protector pants which are available in
male or female styles in a range of sizes. They contain internal pockets on
either hip where the protectors are held to keep them in place over the prominent
hip bone edges.

The "Let's Go" indoor rollator is an entirely new and practical walking aid. It is light, flexible and beautifully
designed for indoor use in the home, hospital or care home.
Comfortable to use and easy to manoeuvre over carpet and household thresholds, it is perfect for getting into narrow spaces such as toilets and bathrooms.
The hand operated brakes are easy to apply and can be used as parking brakes. The handle is soft and comfortable and can be
adjusted to suit the height of the user. The brakes are also linked together so that both brakes can be operated with just one hand.
The "Let's Go" comes with a useful carry bag and clip-on tray, which is ideal for transporting drinks, plates or any
other small lightweight items from room to room.
A useful accessory in the hospital environment is the drip holder. This optional extra is easily attached to the frame
and allows the user to walk with a drip and walking aid comfortably.
The rollator is made from aluminium, with a stylish beech-appearance finish on the rear legs.
It can be neatly folded away when not in use or for transporting in a car.

Loss of strength in the legs means that standing up from a chair can become a problem.
Able2's Lyfty can convert any chair into a riser chair, so you don't have to forego your favourite seat.
It guarantees a comfortable way of standing up, as a compact lift is installed underneath the chair.
Use the lift just by pushing one button; the chair will safely and comfortably rise, and at the same time tilt slightly forward.
The position of the chair will be just right to enable the user to stand up with little effort.
The Lyfty can be battery or mains powered, as required.

You can get in and out of a vehicle easily and comfortably with this strong simple
device. The Handy Bar, with its soft grip, nonslip handle for extra comfort, and super-strong
forged steel shaft, creates a safe, solid support handle where it is needed.
The Handy Bar fits the majority of vehicles with the "U" shaped striker.
It also incorporates a Seat Belt Cutter and Glass Breaker to help leave a vehicle
quickly and easily in the event of an accident.
The Handy Bar inserts into the U-shaped striker plate on your vehicle door frame. The
striker plate is one of the strongest parts of the vehicle and is designed to keep your
vehicle door closed in the event of a side impact collision. There is a striker on each of
the vehicle's door pillars, allowing the Handy Bar to be used on both driver and passenger side-doors.
The Handy Bar costs £23.49 including VAT (£19.99 ex VAT)

Able2 has a wide range of orthopaedic supports.
Shown left is the Pro Tem belt: simple but effective, the high quality elastic and two flexible
posterior stays make this our most popular belt.
The edges have quality Lycra binding and a back depth of 20cm
(8"), cut away to 18cm (7") at the front for increased comfort
when sitting.
Other back supports include the Proform Belt, which has an elastic front with Velcro® closure;
a cotton back section, with detachable comfort pad; and two malleable steels which can be shaped to fit the spinal curve.
There is also a webbing strap which can be positioned in the lumbar or sacral area, for extra compression on the spinal curve.
Back depth is 28cm (11") to support the thoracic area, reducing to 20cm (8") at the front for comfort.
The Crossform Belt has two layers of bias-cut elastic, to give excellent shaping around the
waist and hips. A padded cotton front 17cm (6 1/2") deep with Velcro® closure, gives mild abdominal pressure.
The 20cm (8") deep back pocket encloses a thermoplastic panel which is moulded in hot water at 65°C and shaped to the spine
These are just a few examples from an extensive range.

Good Grips cutlery has a soft cushion grip that keeps the utensil in the hand - even when wet!
The built-up handles are made of a soft latex-free material, with flexible ribbing that is
comfortable and adapts to any grip.
Each stainless steel utensil has a special twist built into the metal shaft that allows the spoons
and forks to bend to any angle, and for either left or right handed use. The rocker knife requires only minimal arm strength
for cutting. A special extended safety cap protects the fingers.
The 6oz. (170g) of weight in the built-up handle provides more control so that the utensil reaches the mouth
more easily. These utensils are ideal for anyone with limited hand control, Parkinsons disease or spasticity.
Good Grips are dishwasher safe.
