SAFEHIP® is an evidence-based, clinical and economic hip fracture prevention solution designed to reduce the incidence of hip fractures. The patented sheild 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.The hip protector shield is made of breathable textile material that gives optimal compliance.. 

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 AirX™ technology
 
• The most sold hip protector on the market

• A product from TYTEX Group Ortho Care
