Hip protectors are devices designed to ease the impact of a fall on the hip bone and help to prevent hip fractures. Patients and residents that benefit most from using hip protectors include elderly fall-risk individuals who are unsteady and have frequent falls, history of fractures from falls, osteoporosis and/or limitations of activity secondary to fear of falling.

Hip protectors act as shock absorbers around the hip providing a cushion. Soft foam pads that are held in place at the hips with specially designed garments. Secure hip protectors feature high-density foam hip pads and removable tailbone protection pad.

The risk of hip fracture when falling while wearing hip protectors compared with a fall with no hip protector in place is significantly reduced. In addition, hip protectors offer psychological benefits (i.e. wearers feel more confident in completing tasks safely) and, as a result, became more physically active, and require less assistance with activities of daily living.

 

Hip Fractures Among Older Adults
One of the most serious fall injuries is a broken hip. It is hard to recover from a hip fracture and afterward many people are not able to live on their own. As the U.S. population gets older, the number of hip fractures is likely to go up.

• Each year at least 250,000 people aged 65 and older are hospitalized for hip fractures.
• More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, usually by falling sideways.
• Women experience three-quarters of all hip fractures.
• Women more often have osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more likely to break.
• The chances of breaking your hip go up as you get older.

Secure hip protectors are lightweight and come in a range of sizes to ensure proper fit and colors to suit needs. The soft cotton blend garment material is comfortable for everyday use in preventing fall related hip injury amongst elderly, seniors, and fall-risk patients, residents and loved ones.

 

The best use of hip protectors is in those residents, patients, and loved ones who are at the greatest risk of hip fracture:

• • Elderly, Senior population
  • Highly medicated
  • Seizure disorder
  • Balance impairment
  • Cognitive impairment

INDEPENDENT LABORATORY TEST RESULTS

Our Secure brand hip protectors have been tested to determine if they reduce the force below the fracture point in the event of a fall. The pads were tested by Collision and Injury Dynamics, Inc. headquartered in El Segundo, CA. Visit www.ci-dynamics.com.

The hip fracture threshold of an elderly person is 3100N (+/- 1200N). The average force of the left and right Secure hip pads was 1366N and 1531 N respectively. The tailbone pad was 1841N. All pads reduced the force associated with a fall below the threshold fracture point.
