The Hip Protector Brace with Foam Pads for Hip Fracture Prevention | Ultra Hip Protector is specifically designed to safeguard patients who are at risk of falling or hip fractures, particularly targeting older adults. It integrates advanced seamless fixation and energy-absorbing ultra-foam technologies to offer unparalleled protection for the trochanter, ensuring both effectiveness and comfort.
This innovative product features high-impact-absorbing visco-elastic pads that minimize the risk of injury upon impact. The briefs, made from 100% latex-free materials, are exceptionally soft and can be comfortably worn underneath regular clothing, enhancing user comfort and compliance. Antimicrobial properties further contribute to hygiene maintenance, crucial for long-term wear.
One of its standout characteristics is the low-profile design of the pads, rendering them virtually undetectable under clothing. Available in a range of sizes from Small to 2XL, and designed for both men and women, the hip protector ensures a personalized fit for optimal effectiveness.
Hip fractures resulting from falls are a significant health concern, especially for individuals aged 65 and above, often leading to increased mortality rates and reduced quality of life due to loss of mobility. The NYOrtho Ultra Hip Protector addresses these risks comprehensively with its unique construction and materials, offering advantages over other products in its category.
For maintenance, the protector can be laundered at temperatures up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and dried at medium heat. Regular inspection of the foam pads post-wash is recommended to ensure integrity; damaged pads should prompt discontinuation of use. While the product cannot guarantee the prevention of hip trauma, its proactive design aims to mitigate risks associated with falls, thereby supporting the safety and well-being of vulnerable patients.
