THE UNIQUE HORSESHOE DESIGN
PROVIDING ABSORPTION AND DISPERSION
ABSORBING AND DISPERSING FORCE
The horseshoe design both absorbs and disperses the force away from the critical area. Standard hip protectors merely absorb the force from a fall. On the pictures to the right, is a simulation of a person is wearing either a competitive hip protector pant or is wearing a Safehip hip protector pant.
When exposed to the force of a fall, a standard hip protector shield covering the fragile spot may not offer adequate protection and instead can cause trauma to the fragile spot.
All SAFEHIP® AirX and Classic pants are light weight and knitted in one process making them seamless. Moreover, all styles are designed so there are no irritating labels or seams on the skin as care instruction and size are knitted in. Also, SAFEHIP® are made as fixation pants which ensures that the shields are held optimally in place. And all pants are designed to be able to hold a continence pad in place if needed.
