SAFEHIP® SELECT PROTECTION

 

Many people, especially the elderly, 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 fracture prevention solution designed to reduce the incidence of hip fractures. The patented shell 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 6,000 people around the world
 
• A specialised product using patented technology
 
• The most sold hip protector on the market

• A product from TYTEX Group Ortho Care
