Patented protection SAFEHIP ® has always been the leading pioneer within hip protection. Right from the start we have been at the forefront of innovation and development through research and rigorous testing to help create improved safe products. The SAFEHIP ® AirX products of today are based on our specially patented “horseshoe-shaped” shield. In the event of a fall on the hip, the SAFEHIP ® AirX shield disperses the energy of the impact away from the greater trochanter (hip bone). This means that the energy from the fall is absorbed by the soft tissue and the muscles around the femoral neck, thereby reducing the risk of a hip fracture. It has taken years of research to develop the shape and the materials used for the shield, and our studies continue – focusing on the demands and requirements of the users. Research carried out over the last few years has resulted in a material which is getting thinner and more comfortable to wear without compromising the recognised and well documented security of SAFEHIP ® . 6 Newtons 2600 2500 2400 2300 2200 2100 2000 1900 1800 Force transmitted through shields SAFEHIP ® AirX Competitive hip protector A Competitive hip protector B Competitive hip protector C The table compares SAFEHIP ® AirX to leading competitors in the market.
