SAFEHIP AirX Hip Protectors

Hip protection helps prevent hip fractures. People who have suffered a fall - or who are at risk of falling - can benefi t from effective hip protection. What starts out as an innocent fall may lead to an operation, a long stay in hospital and an increased demand for professional care. In addition, 30% of all people who suffer a hip fracture die within 2 years (1).
