ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Hip Protectors are worn to help reduce the risk of hip injuries and fractures in the event of a fall. The Pelican Hip Protector Pants come in female and male styles and a range of sizes. The pants are made from a stretchy, moisture-wicking micromesh material. The male style also includes a fly. Soft foam pads are inserted into pockets on the sides of the pants.
Features of the Pelican Hip Protector Pads:
- Soft, flexible, impact-resistant foam that becomes more supple when warmed by body temperature
- 0.5cm / 0.2” soft breathable foam layer that holds the sealed internal impact-absorbing foam away from the skin, allowing airflow
- Large pad size to provide coverage over the greater trochanter (hip bone)
The Hip Protector Pad options are:
- SuperSoft Washable Pads (179SSW): Our most popular fully washable pad
- SuperSoft Washable Pads T5 (179SSWT5): A heavier-duty option that is thicker than the standard SuperSoft Washable pads
The foam pads can be sewn into the pockets of the pants if required. Please contact us if you require this service.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
This product may help people who are at risk of injury from falls.
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Wear as normal underwear. Insert the foam pads into the pockets of the pants before putting them on.
