HipSaver Soft Hip Protectors | Win Health Medical

HipSaver is a soft hip protector designed to reduce fall-related hip fractures in frail elderly people.

Hip fracture is the most serious injury in older people. Many of those who sustain hip fractures permanently lose mobility and independence or even die. The effectiveness of external hip protectors has been widely researched and debated and it is well accepted that when worn, hip protectors can reduce the risk of fall-related hip injuries.
