The hip airbag, the aid to prevent hip fractures in WSCs

The Hip'Safe is the first airbag belt to protect seniors from breaking the femur in case of a fall.
The hip airbag has gained a lot of fame since an international award in San Francisco in late 2018 where this innovation was chosen as one of the most technologically developed products for preventing fractures in persons at high risk of falling.
 
In Belgium, this tool has been widely requested since then in all kinds of care settings. After a test period of several weeks, this innovative tool is purchased in 83% of cases.

How does the hip airbag?

When a fall is detected, both airbags automatically blow up around the hips before impact on the ground. The system is 100% automatic. Comfortable, innovative, protective, easy to use and reusable, the hip airbag is a real innovation for seniors with loss of autonomy.

The complete belt/belt shall comprise:
- an airbag belt (with detection system and airbags),
- 1 protective cover, a gas generator (already installed) and a battery charger.
- The two provided covers are black.

The Hip'Safe is very light and ergonomic: the belt fits perfectly around the hips. In less than 5 minutes you will forget that you wear Hip'Safe. For more comfort, the strap is adjustable. It comes in 5 sizes.
