The Promedics Hipshield is designed to reduce the risk of hip fractures in the elderly. Hip fractures are one of the most common problems faced by the elderly and can have serious consequences.

Click here to go back to Mobility Scooters and Reclining Chairs The Hipshield has been designed to offer greater protection to those at risk by placing a shock-absorbing material at the most vulneralble points on the hipbone. As shown in the first picture the system is easy to use, simple and very cost- effective.

A large positive factor is firstly that the impact absorbing foam insert is removable, So you dont have to keep buying complete pairs. For example you can buy the 3-pack of underware, this comes with one set of foam inserts and 3 pairs of underwear resulting in a cheaper price. Just simply take out the insert to wash the underware, put a clean pair on and slide in the inserts and you are fully protected again.

Washing instruction-- The protective insert can only be hand washed with warm soapy water and left to dry, but the underwear can be washed in the way you usually wash your clothes. (60 degrees or less)
